Father in the world far beyond us

As I listened to the music played by Mr. Idaki Shin for my poem about king Tomei at the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert held on the 6th of July, the depth of my heart was greatly moved and I trembled out of huge impressions. The more I listened to it the more deeply my soul was moved. Today as I heard the sentence of a narration starting with “Father in the world far beyond the universe”, I encountered the great father in reality. I repeated the phrase and cried. The grievances I had envisioned at the foot of Mt. Gojo were revived, when I wrote down a poem about him and the dark shadow of history. And now I realized that his incurable grievances, that were far beyond any expression in words, were nursed, and I could not resist crying out of great joy. However, I had to wait until last May, when this was fully expressed owing to Mr. Idaki Shin. He played the special Koma flute accompanying my poem about the father that was what I had envisioned and dreamt would happen. I was greatly impressed as my dream came true. The encounter with the father within my life signified the arrival of time for realizing the deepest wishes of all human beings. Today’s great impressions and my teardrops made me aware that the precious time has come when I should keep on moving forwards to open up our future.
