Kobe
Together with Mr. Idaki Shin I used to go to Kobe many times to inspect rooms when we had decided to open a new office there and I vividly remember passing under an arcade that was waving to winds, making a sound of leaves, and brilliantly shining to manifest a light-vision of a wonderful future. One day when I passed a street I came across a western style restaurant that looked exactly identical to the one I had envisioned in my night dream. I was blown by a wind of dream. Likewise I often recalled that I could overcome my limitations and achieved many things when I had posted a complete draft for my essay that described my life. It arrived just on time. Though physically I was very tired, my internality was full of vigor and refreshing. I walked every corner to introduce our Idaki counseling courses and and concert activities. However after the earthquake, everything I knew and enjoyed was destroyed. An aroma of dream was gone. Now I realized that to live was always to create something new. One could not live on if one looked back the past. At the Idaki Shin charity concert held in Kobe I realized this and my life was renewed again. Then that aroma of dream was revived and I envisioned brilliantly shining leaves of trees under sunlight that was waving to a wind and making a sound of leaves. I recalled that I used to keep on walking till my foot started to ache. This experience was very precious to my life. It was time to create a new era for coming generations to live on. I would keep on promoting our Idaki activities.
