Light-scape in autumn
My heart trembled as I heard the sound of falling leaves and watched delicate faces of remote mountains that made me think over my life. Autumn was always sorrowful like a hall in my heart feeling a void after a great preceding season of summer had gone. Naturally I used to look for a new light. When I went to Mt. Gojo in autumn for the first time leaves of trees were changing color and I realized that souls of Koguryo’s people became winds and welcomed us with great joy. Usually sorrowful autumn became colored with joy and I enjoyed beautiful leaves in red and was impressed by the sound of falling leaves. As I stood still for a while I received a message from Mother Earth that leaves of trees were falling down on earth, however, each life was filled with joy to welcome numerous newly born living things. I realized that autumn was very colorful and full of joy of life. There after every time that I saw changes of color of leaves of trees and heard its sound I became happy and realized the birth of numerous creatures. On my way back to Tokyo from Kyoto, mountains were colorful and the new season had come. My heart became animated and enjoyed the deepening of autumn in the countryside. I envisioned people’s warmth and the light-scape of how they cherished each other. I realized the essentials of humanity. Thank you very much.
