In Moscow

I woke up in the morning to find myself happy and grateful to be in Moscow. As I opened a window of my hotel room, I was welcomed by the large blue sky and town-scape of Moscow. I was satisfied with everything and was looking forwards to giving my performance soon. At noon, we started a press conference at the Municipality of Moscow and met again with the head of its cultural section, who welcomed us from the bottom of his heart as he has greatly supported our activities for peace. At the press conference he said that face to face encounters among people were the most precious thing for realizing peace. In response to a question posed by a journalist on how Mr. Idaki Shin came to develop his unique counseling method, he said that he had to find a new way in music to express the world of souls, the most important thing in human life as our language was not capable of fully expressing it. And I said that expression of the most beautiful thing in human life, pure heart and eternal souls, would create a truly peaceful world. Some famous Russian artists have also attended the press conference. One painter has been collaborating with the representative of the municipality to support a special hospital for children with innate heart problems. He said he was inspired by my poems to create a new painting and Mr. Idaki Shin encouraged him to try. One sculptor asked me repeatedly to come to perform my event at his opening event in Korea next year. We mutually acknowledged our mission to create global peace.
