8 months later
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face
and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin
and will heal their land.

Children who paint the future
By Akiko Kameoka

The earth quaked, the waves roared. The ink bottle fell over, the lid was not closed.
![Page 19: The Power of Beauty Engaging Artists to Bring Hope and Healing to Fukishima, Japan Eisuke Kanda FVI Friends with the Voiceless Intn’l.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020219/56649f135503460f94c26d07/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Black ink spread all over. Adult tried to repaint, some tried to recover to the original color, another to a more
beautiful color. Some even tried to ignore the fact. Some spread black ink all over.
![Page 20: The Power of Beauty Engaging Artists to Bring Hope and Healing to Fukishima, Japan Eisuke Kanda FVI Friends with the Voiceless Intn’l.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020219/56649f135503460f94c26d07/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Black ink invaded the children’s white future. Oh, no !
![Page 21: The Power of Beauty Engaging Artists to Bring Hope and Healing to Fukishima, Japan Eisuke Kanda FVI Friends with the Voiceless Intn’l.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020219/56649f135503460f94c26d07/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
But, look!God has given a brush to the children.A much bigger brush than adults have.
![Page 22: The Power of Beauty Engaging Artists to Bring Hope and Healing to Fukishima, Japan Eisuke Kanda FVI Friends with the Voiceless Intn’l.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020219/56649f135503460f94c26d07/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
It is now all right to repaint all over that which adults have previously painted. Do not hesitate.
Paint a new future.

The future belongs to the children…yes it is theirs who are going to be born.
O God, I pray that black ink will not spread and defile anymore of the children’s future. Also, I pray that the children will move ahead
toward the untouched future which is like a blank sheet of paper.
