New Year

Many people from various part of Japan came to the Koma Gallery Café at Yasaka, Kyoto to celebrate New Year, while Mr. Idaki Shin kept on making rice cake all day long. Everybody was happy.
In the inner garden of the Koma Gallery Café, under the beautiful sunlight, I realized the arrival of an authentic spring when I ate Zenzai, the sweet red beans with rice cake that was full of energy of life. As I looked up at Heaven the Yasaka tower looked magnificent and as if it were advancing towards me. Its true being that had over one thousand years of history was manifested and looked like being totally refreshed and reborn washed by pure water and embraced by a pleasant wind. Ever since we had opened the Koma Gallery Café, this time was the fourth New Year celebrated with rice cake hand made by Mr. Idaki Shin. When he worked on it with traditional wooden devices, birds started singing and babies raised voices of cheers from the balcony of the second floor. I felt that life in nature and the world of souls had joined us and celebrated us. Every time I came to Yasaka, the first thing I did was to go to greet the tower by standing facing it, closing my eyes and talking to souls of people. Owing to Mr. Idaki Shin who had liberated hidden souls of people by holding his concerts in Kyoto, I envisioned that nothing was hiding them anymore. An endless world became wide open and souls of people were freely flying over the universal space. I trembled at the arrival of an era of eternal souls. All the untold grievances, sadness and pains were liberated and the truth of history and world of souls were manifested. I felt that this year all my dreams would be realized. I recalled that on the last day of the last year at night, I envisioned a light-scape within my life that was an ever ascending blue wind towards Heaven at top speed faster than anything else. I realized the meaning of a message I had received before that was about a movement of light that would come to change our world all at once. People who would not tune themselves to its center would be blown off before the tremendous power of the wind for realizing a global peace.
The rice cake made by Mr. Idaki Shin filled my life with the same energy so I felt that I could achieve anything possible and I made up my mind to move on true to this. Because human life was once for all, I would concentrate myself on realizing my earnest wish I had prayed for since childhood. That was an authentic peace all over the world. Now was the time to achieve this all at once while the light-scape I had envisioned in front of the Yasaka tower showed me the same. At this New Year everything welcomed the authentic spring and was making a full bloom. Thank you very much for being provided with a truly beautiful New Year and the arrival of an authentic spring for humankind.
