Under a ferocious snowfall

 

I drove north to Aomori through heavy wind and snowfalls. Usually my destination was Morioka. However this time we decided to visit Mt. Hakkoda in Aomori. I realized the severe natural climate with snow in the north, and thought about a way of life that would always be fully prepared for any abrupt incident. I always speculated over the state of life of ancient human beings when I visited historic sites in many countries. Their life should be very different from ours. I was grateful to Master Idaki Shin as he always taught me about the essential nature of human life in every aspect of our life that I faced at home and in business, etc.
When I went to the birthplace of Koguryo, Mt. Gojo, I thought about how people in ancient times used to live on top of it under the extremely severe climate that no one in our days could imagine. They lived on in a marvelous manner and posed me a question about the nature of human life. While each person inherited something from the past, I wished to make profit from innate memories and realize them in our actual life. I would learn more and more from my life in a serious manner.
