Spring wind

I published a poetry book with DVD entitled Reika that was edited from poems that I had created in my teens. Its cover was made out of Washi, the traditional Japanese paper, with my marbling drawings. A collection of my short novels entitled also Reika could be found at our website. As I read them now, I recalled a spring wind that had greatly attracted my heart at that time for an unknown reason. I had been excited anticipating a wonderful future. I wondered if a spring wind was coming from the future. I felt as if I were a teenager or days in my teens would be coming ahead of my life. Also I realized the unity of numerous souls of my ancestors who had established Koguryo two thousand years ago, manifested the eternal nature of its spirituality, and been separated after the destruction. I felt at the depth of my life a world without time nor distinction of past, present and future and realized that souls of people were living there. I wondered if this internal sensation could be expressed as a spring wind. Three months were going to pass from the New Year when I had received a message from nature and created a poem that life in nature was prepared to welcome the arrival of an authentic spring. Plum flowers were in full bloom to tell us of the arrival of spring. However many sad incidents were happening around us as human beings were unable to keep pace with nature that became quite prepared to enjoy an authentic spring while I knew that in reality at the depth of life we were unified with nature. So I became excited to move ahead embraced by spring wind and new atmosphere that I had not known in the past. Souls of people once separated in past history got together and would start living a new life all together in a world full of light of spring. I sincerely wished that this spring wind might reach the heart of people all over the world..
