Time to change

As I opened the window of my room in the morning, birds were singing in a relaxing countryside of Morioka. I tried to repeat their song and my heart was nursed. A brilliantly shining surface of river, trees and mountains that were seen through the window greatly impressed me. A life in nature enriched my heart. A mysterious light-vision of sunset was also very attractive. As I looked around I felt that every living thing seemed to manifest its most beautiful figure and was addressing me to make me busy in responding to each of them. I wished that a human being would live a dramatic and beautiful life like this marvelous display and light-vision of nature. I realized by the big changes in my brain the end of human society that was formulated by the consciousness of objectivating everything. Like life in nature we should live on true to the nature of original human life and always pave a way for our future. While we were born to succeed negative influences of our ancestors and past history, if our consciousness looked at them the direction of our life would be opposite to the direction of our life. If we would start to live on alongside the flow of life, then our inner potentials would be fully developed and a good human society would become possible. Therefore the first thing to do for us was to practice a new way of life true to the principles of life. I became encouraged and motivated to follow the way to build a new nation as achieved by king Tomei, the founder of Koguryo dynasty.
