Improvising poems

My dream came true and I created and narrated poems on the spot at the Messages from Mother Earth concert held at Koma gallery Café in Kyoto. I was excited anticipating many new wonderful things to happen. Last night I watched the video entitled ”Opening of Stone Gates” on the Keiko Koma channel and listened to messages I had received at Nara in the end of 2004. At that time I refrained from narrating poems in front of an audience, simultaneously as I created them. However I wished to do this sometimes and finally to my great joy I was provided with the opportunity to improvise poems and narrate them on stage. From now on I would manifest my true self in a straightforward manner. Later today there was a salon gathering at Café Akira and I screened a video of the very concert in Kyoto. Because I had improvised all the poems, I did not remember the words and I was very much looking forwards to watching it. The oud played by Mr. Idaki Shin touched my heart and seemed to be unified with nature and generate extremely pleasant music together with the voice of my narrations. Ordinary consciousness had faded away and by the end of the screening, I had realized a state of nothingness and purity of mind free from personal emotions and concerns in the past. My life was living in an eternal world and the truth was provided. I was extremely grateful to this precious experience.
These days I enjoy watching my video lecture programs on the Keiko Koma channel. Though I was presenting myself, its stories attracted me very much so I felt that each program ended too soon. I was actually talking about my own life so I could not fully explain in words though it consisted of a series of programs. Every experience I had was very dramatic and beyond human imagination. To my joy and surprise, as I watched them I acknowledged that the process of realizing Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concerts was full of historic romanticism. The music played live by Mr. Idaki Shin demonstrated this very well. I believed that nobody else could express by music this magnificent history as he did not compose the music by head, instead, every sound manifesting the truth of history was generated in communion with his life. Therefore he could also express things that were beyond human words even by playing an electronic instrument. In Iran, usually holding a concert at a holy site was prohibited, however, only Mr. Idaki Shin was allowed to perform as his music was considered something cultural above ordinary music and special permission was issued by the vice president of the state. I believe that anyone alive now would love to listen to his music acknowledging one’s soul and experience the authentic joy of being born as human kind, at least once in a lifetime. I loved the musical world expressed at the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert. My life became fully animated and energetic. I was filled with joy to be alive. A wonderful future looked promising. I became fully encouraged to open up a future for human kind. This was a moment to acknowledge the meaning of my life.

Flowers and grasses by a roadside were also shining
And were full of vigor.
In a daily life sometimes I came to recall a light-scape:
The vision I had when I was a child.
Every instance was very precious.
Some great being that used to stay by my side
Became visible when there was a gust of fresh breeze.
I realized the meaning of my life.
Now was the moment of eternity.
I was extremely happy.
Touched by a spring wind I realized that a Great Being
Was indeed together with me now and forever.
My heart responded to something beyond time.
Any life was gentle.
Thank you very much. .
