Departure

July 2020

I have lived for 20 years in the Netherlands. I came here to study music just after finishing university in Japan. I have learned not only music but also beautiful spirituality and human love which fills the area I lived and worked. They made me grown as a person, especially for the last five years. I am just so grateful that I could stay a half of my life here and that has made me as I am now, as I think, as I speak, as I write and as I play music. I would surely be a complete another person if I would not have come here. The life here for 20 years is a treasure of my life.

Leaving here gave me so much pain. When I came to the city of Zeist at the first time, I had heard from the sky 'welcome home' I wondered then,'? ... It is the first time to be here.' Indeed I felt at home soon, just as if I had come back where I had to be. I like very much to be a part of a clean and elegant town with green forest. I sensed spirituality came from nature and holding around this city. It seems that I have a deep connection with this area such as I had lived in my past life.

After a long transformation of acceptance the departure - it took for two years long - in the last three weeks I was no longer so sad, neither depressed concerning leaving here. In the last one week, however, when I was then every morning awake once around 4:30, I had very much pain in my heart: There was no physical pain, also no emotional pain, no tears, but it came up from an extremely deep place in my heart. It is hard to know what is happening in my consciousness and even in subconsciousness during sleeping. It just made me aware how strong I was connected to this land and how important here was in my life.
