Energy for building a nation
Today, after the second day of the Idaki counseling courses, I drove back home listening to the CD by Mr. Idaki Shin entitled ‘The Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered’. The first song, Mt. Gojo, was full of energy to create a new dynasty out of nothing. This filled me with energy and tears of great impressions came up from my internality. The next song, that of a heavenly angel in her sorrow, also moved my heart and made me shed tears. General Otistubuntoku awakened within me the same vigorous energy as in himself. I recalled ancient Koguryo’s powers that I realized when I visited its ruins for the first time in the year 1998. This energy made me feel capable of achieving anything. I was very happy. When I visited there for the second time, I was extremely sad as I had just lost my mother a short time before and what was worse I was not allowed to enter Mt. Gojo as I was a foreigner. My ardent wish was not heard. I held my tears and decided to go back to Japan. Mr. Idaki Shin told me that he would create music that expressed my heart and recorded this song entitled ‘a song of heavenly angel in her sorrow’. One hundred days after my mother’s death, I was very surprised to see that this particular song had started to play automatically in my car audio that had been out of order. Because this music has been expressing my heart and nursed my sadness I anticipated the death of my father and in reality he was dead soon after this. Listening to this music today, I realized that now it was time to manifest our true self and realize my dream of Mt. Gojo
A song of heavenly angel in her sorrow
After I lost my mother,
Wishing to meet her again, I went to Mt. Gojo and paved a long way
To arrive at the most cherished homeland of my ancestor.
I was in need of winds of Mt. Gojo and encountering the father of Koguryo.
However, I was just looking up the mountain
Mourning my mother’s death
My heart trembling out of endless tears.
However, gentle breezes were around me to tell me that she was together with me.
Death was not an end.
I looked up a large sky and Mt. Gojo to realize the eternal nature of life.
The father of Koguryo knew the deepest grievances of separation that tore his heart apart.
He was also together with me.
Love.
At the lakeshore of Mt. Gojo, I swore to Heaven that
I would realize a new world that would never destroy love.
The beginning of living an eternal life all together.
