World in peach color

I came across a place name called Peach Flower and drove through it under peach trees. I thought about peach flowers that would bloom sometime later. In my childhood at this season of year the garden of my house usually filled with arches of peach flowers. Therefore a world in peach color gave me a hope to live on. The arrival of spring wiped away the heavy cloudy sky and manifested a space in peach color. I recalled that with great joy I used to walk under arches of peace flowers with my hands widely held up towards them. I wondered if peach flowers of this year had been patiently waiting for the arrival of an authentic spring for humankind and looked at mountains on the way back to Tokyo. As I felt my internality I envisioned a world in peach color. I recalled that in a historic land of Koguryo people used to call the sound of melting snow “Tokasui, water of peace flower” while since childhood I considered it as footstep of spring. The sound of water that I enjoyed since childhood was the sound of spring. My soul trembled at this precious nature of human life that could transcend any elapse of time and special distance. And today as I felt my internality the sound of Tokasui was heard that brought me spring in my homeland. I was greatly encouraged to move on for realizing a global peace acknowledging the universal nature of human life. Whatever might happen the key for achieving my dream was to remain unified with Great Being. I felt great gratitude and joy and swore to live an internally rich life every day and keep on developing my potentials for creating a truly good society. A dream I had cherished in my childhood was a vision of a brilliantly shining humankind in a truly peaceful world. Human life should be a flower in the universe. I sensed an aroma of dream that would be realized in reality in some future. I acknowledged the importance of always expressing my heart as it was.
