The light-scape in my mind
The light-scape I had envisioned yesterday seemed to have been perpetuated
in my mind forever. A beautiful sunbeam mingled with magnificent
flows of wind. I was surrounded by a lovely aroma that showed me a path
leading me to a glorious future. At the palace in Sheki, I found a
wall painting of a pair of deer and I asked the meaning and was told
that it was the symbol of beauty, as was the same in ancient Koguryo. I
saw the same symbol in a mosaic with the same meaning at the birth
place of Alexander the Great and I joyfully explained its
particular sense in the traditions of Koguryo. The spirituality of Koguryo
was indeed universal. Often times I came across familiar symbols and
light-scapes as I visited many historic sites all over the world. I
acknowledged ever lasting memories within my life that would lead me
to open up my future. Today the magnificent landscape of the Caucasus
mountains was shining brilliantly in my mind and greatly attracted me.
At night in Azerbaijan, the shining half moon over the dark blue sky
excited my heart as it started to beat faster if I came across Great
Being. Spontaneously I hid myself and smiled at my strange
behavior. The flower arrangement of Gladiolus at my hotel also
attracted my attention and I stopped in my steps as I was about to pass
by. Many thing in Azerbaijan were full of meanings and excited my heart. I anticipated wonderful things to happen just as I thought of
what would come tomorrow.
