9/11

9/11...It has been 3 years since it happened. A Japanese artist, Seitarou Kuroda, the member of "PIKADON Project," and I went to the ground zero today. People were striking a bell that was set up near a church. People brought flowers and cards. Seitarou started drawing to pray for peace... "Peace,” who doesn't wish for? Is it something that we will never be able to experience? There are still wars going on in the world. In our daily life, continuously, people are fighting over something. A war is not other's affair, yet is deeply originated from "ego" that resides within everybody's mind. I believe that a war may disappear if we, as individual, work on or pay attention to our inner self.... Is this too idealistic? Dear Mr., presidents in the world, the planet where we are living is crying and suffering. Our earth is the only place for us to live, then why are you trying to destroy it? The sound of the bell is still resonating in my mind. I hope that the sound can reach to everybody. I hope that our wish will come true...
