A newly manifested world

At today’s concert in Beirut the music played by Mr. Idaki Shin marvelously expressed divine beings of Lebanon frequently represented symbolically as big cedar trees. I was certain that his music has influence all over the world. Many people came to greet me as they were deeply impressed by my poems on my attachment to Lebanon. Though many unpleasant incidents have happened this time, finally we could share the same heart, understand deep grievances and acknowledge vigor for the future especially when I read the last poem on the city of Tyre as a glorious homeland for my soul. Under whatever circumstances I am determined to carry out my mission so I have looked into the internal condition of my mind to see if I have not deviated from my deepest wish to pave the way for global peace. At the same time I was hit by a fear of death, a feeling that has been coming up in my mind repeatedly since childhood. It seemed to have historic roots in my ancestors so I tried to attune myself to the new world expressed musically by Mr. Idaki Shin. Then I found myself in a new space that allowed me to live on, the world far beyond Heaven By diffusing this space we can build truly peaceful society. 
On the following day when I woke up in the morning the sky was a beautiful blue and seemed to be filled with potential encounters with the true light of life. Over the large sky the eternal world was there, wide open to us. There may be some difficulties, however the new world is within reach of our hands.
