Wind of May

 

Since childhood I loved the wind in May as I could feel the brilliancy of new buds of trees and their fresh aroma carried by it and my life became vigorous. As I looked up at a big tree waving to a wind its leaves were brilliantly shining and looked like a sea wave in green color. This sight made me feel the joy of being alive and deep gratitude. A wind in May blowing at Musashino made me recall my father who had passed away and I could feel the presence of his soul and those of my ancestors who had built a new country. My heart was filled with aspiration and a dream I had embraced since childhood that was newly to build our country for the first time in history for everybody on earth to live a truly happy and vigorous life. Now I feel that the time has come to realize my dream, and many beautiful flowers bloom in the glorious space that I called a light-scape of flowers of light. New buds of life will be born, grow up and bear fruits. My deepest wish that was born in my childhood will be realized while I shall have been praying for everybody’s well-being, happiness and global peace.
As we drove north through Musashino on Tohoku highway to arrive at Morioka, I envisioned another light-scape that showed me that my dream would be realized while a pure stream of water in a hill in spring purified my heart. Mountains and trees were full of fresh energies and I realized that we could always renew our life. This was a great encouragement. Flowers in red, white, yellow, purple and pink made my heart be filled with flowers and brilliantly shine. In cold winter, the world looked grey and colorless, so that I felt like enduring pains. However in May a wind blew to fill my heart with new energy with hope to live on. This year, the wind of May has come from afar and unified with my internality. It taught me that all my hopes and dreams would be realized. Together with this wind I would live a beautiful life. Thank you very much.
