Spring
On my way back from voting in the mayor’s election, I drove through the places where I was born and brought up. However, after I passed a cherry blossom arcade, my favorite field of yellow rapeseed flowers by a water stream was almost vanishing, and trees that I used to call a mountain, and its atmosphere and the aroma of my childhood, scarcely remained. I realized that while everything in the past was gone, my life was receiving light coming from the future. After school I used to go to that mountain to amuse myself as bright yellow flowers and azalea animated my heart. Sometime I could come across a purple violet flower whose mysterious and pure light extremely excited my heart with joy. After having encountered Mr. Idaki Shin, likewise he made me clarify mysterious things in my life, the true nature of human life and the meaning of my own life. I kept on driving and asked myself the reason why I was so greatly moved by these flowers. Now that my inspirations have always been realized sometime later, I acknowledged that I had been receiving light coming from the future. Light and wind coming from the future made me feel authentic happiness from the core of my life and excited my heart. Today, I invented a new original beverage. As I felt this was it, I exclaimed with joy, tasted and drank it to the end. This was indeed wonderful. Also I hand made new fashion items out of old jeans that also made me extremely joyful. Following a light-scape that I envisioned recently, I wished to make and deliver something encouraging to people suffering after the disaster. I was very happy to see them look wonderful. In Tokyo every day I could realize many essential things, so I felt as if I were reborn every morning. Now we were leaving for another part of Japan to deliver our messages for rebuilding our country, and today’s Café Akira’s salon gathering commemorated our departure. We had a great time.
I planned and decided to hold more and more charity concerts by Mr. Idaki Shin, including at Morioka. One at Kobe would be very important, as it coincided with many things. Our future looked full of hope. However I was rather tense anticipating an unknown new world.
