Light scape in Tohoku

 

A butterfly had stopped over a flower in a field, and wind in Tohoku told me to live a rich and happy life at heart together with every fellow. The beautiful waving flowers made me wonder if this vision was a memory from an ancient time or predicted a future. Anyway I was taught to live a pure life at heart under any circumstances.
When I was a child I loved a violet flower and always went out to look for it. As I came across one I smiled with joy that I did not know any particular reason. When I visited the tomb of Koguryo’s general in Jian city, the ancient capital of Koguryo, I envisioned a light-scape of full of yellow flowers in a green field that I had cherished from my childhood and then I found a violet flower on my foot step. I felt like having met again my old friend and talked to it saying that she had been there.
Today’s light scape in Tohoku made me recall these stories and revived an energy to build a new country. Now is the time to build a truly human country together with people all over the world. This new country should not have any border and allow everybody to live a happy life. The pure beauty of the gently waving flower in a field has greatly moved my heart and I swore to live a beautiful and pure life at heart.
