Excited at heart
In my teens I anticipated something great would happen and that feeling of excitement was revived these days while my internality seemed to have received a light coming from an unknown future. A marvelous future I had envisioned at that time was followed by a gust of spring wind. I felt wind when I received a message from a soul. Sometimes I could sense a special fragrance. Therefore a spring wind was an aroma for realizing my dream and thoughout my life I have been wishing to see an authentic peace all over the world. My ancestor’s dynasty, Koguryo was built in China and its last capital city was in today’s North Korea, so since childhood I felt the sadness of not being able to move freely around the historic sites of my ancestors. This was the reason why I sincerely wished and prayed every day since childhood that people in East Asia would be unified and realize a global peace. My internality was full of grievances of separations repeated in past history. I truly wished to realize a new world that would never separate people by force. This was my sincere heart and deepest dream. Now I was filled with energies for realizing this dream and my soul trembled. While Mr. Idaki Shin played the concert entitled “Kokorozashi, my determined heart” my life became excited by a spring wind that revived in my mind the dream I had cherished since childhood. I expressed this as a dream but now it could be said to be my firm will to realize in my life time. I knew I could do so as I was living in a special era. I was extremely grateful to my life. Spring wind was a great excitement for my life as it told me of the arrival of time.
