"Mother"

어머니, 저의 모든 것은 어머니로부터 왔습니다.
다음은 뭘까?

32706 달날 파란하늘 쌀쌀

내 이야기가 실린 선데이 뉴욕 타임즈가 나온
멋진 지난 주말.
기대한 것 보다 훨씬 그럴듯하게 쓰여진 나에 관한 이야기 

홍수처럼 밀려와 휘감겨오는 옛 일들, 앞 일들
그 속에 깊이 잠겼었다. 

아이들 장난도 아닌데
내가 이렇게라도 쓰여서
어디엔가라도 쓰일 수 있다면
쓰여야지… 

목련화 아리도록 피는 봄
시샘이 허연 눈이 휘몰아쳐 또 멍들지라도
파란 잎 새 순의 길을 열기 위해
한껏 피워 재끼는 목련화를
값 있게 살아가는 선구자라 했다. 

한 번 피고 한 번 지면 끝인가 해도 꼭 봄은 다시 온다.
올 봄엔 창가의 목련화를 그리리라. 

홀로 긴 겨울
기도로 추스리고
그리움으로 엮어낸
나의 최선을
열렬히 찬사하던 관객들이
다시 그 이상을 부추긴다. 

이제 이 풀 꽃하나
하느님의 사람으로
세상 빛에 들어내놓으신
헤아릴 길 없는 뜻
첫 걸음 멋지게 내딛게 해주셨는데
마지막 발걸음이야….

What’s next

Last weekend held a great moment for me.
The Sunday New York Times had an article about me.
The story was far more complementary  than I expected. 

I was in the middle of a swirl
and drowned in memories and plans. 

It is not a child’s play I used to do.
May be it is necessary to be written this way
to be used someway
even though I didn’t compose my story this way. 

Magnolia blossoms dazzle jealous white eyes.
Sure it will come again to bruise them.
still perform  at once anyway
to provide the path of the fresh new  way.
True pioneers. 

Once opened and disappeared
thinking  that was it then forgotten.
Certain it will come again.
This spring I’ll paint them by my window. 

Lonely  long winter
getting support in prayer
the last story has been woven.
That was my best.
All the praise of the audience
soon they expect more from me. 

I don’t understand
why  this little weed has been put out
as God's person under the sun though
I trust  that the power
that helped me put out my amazing first step
will help me through this last step. 

The Christmas Gift

   

This holy night tonight like the holy night that night,
Holy darkness surrounds us like that holy night.
This holy night tonight like the holy night that night,
We humbly adore this mystery. 

His cry reaches to the stars shining upon the world,
In the faithful Mary’s arms the Mother of our God.
The light of love of all, the light of life of all,
that banishes the darkness,
opens a new day, new love and new life
that in his guiding light.
Oh merry Christmas 

What comes to mind?
What do you want to do for Christmas?
Children answer “Christmas decoration.”
What comes to mind?
What do you want to do for Christmas?
We all sing Christmas carols.
What comes to mind?
What do you want to do for Christmas?
Exchange our gifts, baking, and family get together,
lots of fuss, many fancy parties. 

Why do we get all these gifts not Jesus?
Why do I give gifts to you not to him?
Whose birthday is this today?
Because he was born for us. 

Oh jolly Holiday !
Oh merry Christmas!
I’ll get great things, all sorts of gifts.
But I’m not sure I need them.
What did you give last time?
What did you ask for last Christmas?
And did you get all that you wished for?
After all, after all,
He is the best gift to us.

Oh Christmas!

 

There are many roads in the mountain.

There is a tunnel.
Someone made it for people’s convenience.
Without it, it will take longer to go to the other side of the mountain. 

I’m entering a tunnel.
Somebody made it for me.
Without this it would take longer to go to the other side of the mountain. 

Claustrophobia, scary cat, doubters or real drivers don’t use tunnels.
They might say that the other way is more pleasant.
Winding long scenic view, fresh air, blue sky…. 

There is a mountain.
Some people are proud of their Tec knowledge that contributes to human life.
Speed up, energy saving, directing other people’s thought…. 

There is a mountain.
Some people admire the majestic power of it and try to preserve as it is.
Slow down, energy receiving, directing other people’s thought…. 

There are many roads in the mountain.
Some people drive through to go to the other side of the mountain.
Some people drive through to enjoy the mountain and view from the mountain. 

There are many roads in the mountain.
Some people walk through to go to the other side of the mountain.

Snow covered mountain

Snow covered mountain
Thinned hair spikes up
Reveal the nude contour of it
Showing the deepest history
It’s covered to show. 

Snow covered tree
White wind darkened evergreen
White wind brushes every bear arm pit
Double blanket over their feet
It’s covered to grow. 

Snow covered road
Evened rocky trail
Widened bush path
Guide to further in
It’s covered to draw 

Snow covered field
Freshly gessoed
Wet canvas
Inviting every artist
It’s covered to know
