Aroma of bearing good fruits
Today I could receive very important people from Ethiopia and had a joyous time. We discussed opening up a marvelous future and mutually acknowledged the theme of our Cosmic Manifesto Ethiopia concert held in the year 2001, that we would start a new human history of love from the cradle of humankind. It was time to realize our dream. I was filled with joy and hope. Our dream of the last thirty one years of activities was being realized. I was filled with an aroma for bearing good fruits.
Our guests from Ethiopia remained smiling all the time during the dinner, however at last they served coffee, and he stopped smiling after he quickly examined its quality with a grimace. He did not take a sip. I witnessed the scene and our eyes met as he looked up with a full smile again. A coffee specialist from the birthplace of coffee did not find Japanese coffee authentic. I felt that we should serve good coffee at the end of dinner to make everything fine. So it was regrettable. I thought about a proper process to bear good fruits. I could hear a rhythm that pushed us to realize the very best in any circumstances. I would take care of people and work very hard as a beautiful aroma had come.
