At Yasaka
At the monthly gathering of poems for life, I narrated my poems that expressed our future, listened to each poem created on the spot by participants, gathered around one big table with everybody, and enjoyed having sweets and coffee handmade by Mr. Idaki Shin. It was a happier moment of life like a monthly gathering of one big family filled with warmth at heart. I wished to provide this experience to people all over the world as I believed that happiness was the source for any person to overcome any actual problems and keep on creating a human world.
I always told my staff members what Mr. Idaki Shin had said before that the most important thing was whether or not we could enjoy being together in one bus even on a harsh road. When we remained unified at heart for creating a marvelous future, we would be able to overcome any obstacles and vigorously work together with joy. In reality we were creating a wonderful future for humankind. So our life became extremely animated and filled with happiness.
After the gathering, I changed the installation of the gallery floor upstairs and went to greet the Yasaka tower. Then I received a message that all I had to do was to grasp the center of a new world. Today a completely new world that I had never seen before was opened up. So I realized that I would tune myself to its core while the center of our world looked like shifting. Likewise I would change my way of life from the core of my life, as I knew I should not stick to old ways of life, otherwise my body would start aching. When ours would be transformed into a new one human beings should embrace at heart a new way of life. I renewed my life and said farewell to the tower with gratitude. On the way back home I felt the joy of Mother Earth. I realized that souls of people all over the world have been joyfully waiting for the coming Idaki Shin concert that would make anyone realize the supreme state of happiness. I was filled with hope and wished to share it with as many people as possible.
