Flowers telling the arrival of spring

Komae was known as a place inhabited by Koma people and today red plum flowers there caught my eyes and animated my heart with a pleasant fresh breeze of spring.
I was at a plum field in bloom that dyed the surrounding space in a brilliant pink color of flowers, among which special white flowers were seen to make the field extremely beautiful. I called this a light-scape of joy, happiness and vitality. Spring always brought me joy of life with beautiful flowers. I recalled that before I encountered Mr. Idaki Shin, my life was full of pains, however, the arrival of spring had always nursed my heart and torched a light of hope. However difficult my life might be, in the world of nature, a new spring never failed to come. So I anticipated that an era of spring would come to our human world in some future. Moreover as my mother was born in February, her love for me was doubled in my heart with the blooming of plum flowers. So this year as well facing a marvelous view of plum fields I talked to flowers to deliver to my passed mother the joy of the arrival of spring. As I stood in front of a tomb of Koguryo a spring wind traversed the Mother Earth that carried an aroma of eternity. I recalled that in my teens the arrival of spring always encouraged me to live on and filled my heart with hope. However, to my great sadness every year the spring would soon pass away and I had to endure a sorrowful autumn and winter till another spring would come. I was filled with extreme joy as my heart was also in full bloom when I welcomed the spring for the first time after having encountered Mr. Idaki Shin. And after the spring was over and all the flowers has fallen down, with the arrival of May, with the fresh greening of trees, I realized within my life the birth of new buds that seemed to grow up to make fruits. The light of hope within my life became more and more strong. For a long period of time, I talked to the souls of Koguryo people that have been buried and sleeping under the tomb. All of a sudden I was touched by a gust of breeze and I said it brought me the eternal spring. Mother Earth was already transformed into a world of light and winds have cherished newly born buds of life. This was my vision of an authentic spring. Though many people did not understand what was happening in an invisible dimension of the world, a great transformation was steadily taking place that would become visible sooner or later. Whatever might happen in my life I swore to be unified with the special wind of authentic spring and eternity that was obviously originated from Great Being.
