Wind of Koguryo

As I watched a video of Mt. Gojo at our Café Akira Roppongi, I was overwhelmed by the sound of strong winds that made me extremely excited and feel as if I were actually in Mt. Gojo. Spring wind was very pleasant, and a scene of azalea flowers made me feel that I had met an old fellow, and quite spontaneously I was about to say hello. I smiled at my behavior. Also I was very impressed to watch myself delivering a message in the video from on the top of Wandu castle’s fortification wall that was preserved in its original condition of one thousand nine hundreds years ago. I smiled at myself in the video. I could feel and hear a gentle wind and waving leaves of maple trees. Lovely songs of birds were as real as if they were singing here and now. They appealed to my heart and made me peaceful. The untouched walls of Wandu castle showed me the presence of a soul that was eternal and could transcend any lapse of time. The tomb complex under Wandu mountain was full of yellow flowers that were also waving to gentle winds and filled me with happiness. Koguryo’s historic site with a special wind of Koguryo always made me vigorous, feel grateful from the bottom of my heart, realize the happiness of being alive, and filled with hope as I envisioned a marvelous future. I was extremely glad as I could feel, in my daily life in Tokyo, the very real atmosphere, as if I went to Koguryo’s historic site. The video was full of brilliant light that showed us that the souls of my ancestors were also extremely happy to be able to have received Mr. Idaki Shin and the most cherished world became wide open to them. I realized that birds also orchestrated repeatedly a song of gratitude that echoed endlessly everywhere. I recalled my poem that started saying that Wandu castle city was the village of love. Today in Tokyo I was fully charged with the energy of my homeland and became vigorous to create a new future. Yesterday’s concert made me renew my life, and I was steadily realizing an authentic peace all over the world that was the dearest wish of mine since childhood.
