In Russia 

Today I was accompanied by staff members to inspect our event venue, the Green theater, a big open-air theater located in the center of Moscow facing the Moscow river, and I was not very happy as it looked old, dirty and some renovation works were taking place. However as Mr. Idaki Shin showed me some photos of mine taken on the spot, I looked very happy and satisfied. He commented that while things coming up in my head were negative, my life was already capturing the wonderful future, and the information of life would always turn out to be true. Encouraged by his words I started to write a poem. At first I felt a strong uneasiness in my heart and even felt like falling down, but as I listened to birds singing merrily, fresh winds have blown through my life and I could hear messages coming from the future to make a pretty poem. Though it was a very hot day I was totally refreshed as I finished writing it.  
After returning to my hotel, we had a meeting with staff from the Moscow municipality and an interview with journalists. We discussed the necessity of regaining the identity of being a human as a common theme for every body on earth as there was no authentic peace of mind. One person said that in our modern society people were forced to work like a mouse in a cage running after food to make it roll. Human kind was facing the turning point of either becoming truly human or ending in extinction as human history in the past has been repeating separations and destructions. I was very impressed to be able to have an intimate and meaningful conversation in Russia and said that the only way to recover from this situation was to regain the rich sensitivity within each people’s internality where everybody’s core of life was interconnected to each other’s under the vast universe. The flow of life was one. I sensed that many souls here were welcoming our concert this coming July.  .  .
