μΌμ μΉ / Three great scholars, Nov 27, 2024 μ°¨κ°μ/ Cha, Kang Seok
On an early autumn day
A chestnut was thrown
into the dark shadows.
Under the sunlight and moonlight
Making a key out of the inner shells of the egg
When it gets out of the thorns
It was abandoned.
With countless thorns
imprisoning three great scholars
there was the chestnut in the dark shadows

down and down
Pass by stream,
past the river
I Hope that you reach to the sea
It's also okay for you to go to the clouds in the sky,
and become a sweet rain
I hope you always move.
If you have to stay in a bowl
I hope that:
you are included In a bowl that should be put in
I pray earnestly that:
you donβt be rotten
In the stagnant water

A wall made of glass
Divides people into the majority and the minority
There are moving holes in the wall,
That allows the divided peoples between the majority and the minority to communicate
I can't fit into those holes
because the holes are as fast as fleas
To move from the minority to the majority
I tried wailing, but even the sound couldn't reach the holes.

Me in Others
For my team, while working at ExosomePlus, Inc,
Feb, 14, 2020, Written by Sooyoung Kim
I see myself in others.
He has the image that I want to have.
Both firmness and leisure in his years
Another he
has the image of my past and future.
He is not perfect, but confident, so I like him.
Another
makes me reflect on the my image that I did not have in my past
She
has passion and responsibility for work so
I cannot dislike her even if she did make mistakes.
Another she
has perfect sense, sincerity, and accuracy
Which gives me the joy of working together with her.
I see myself from my colleagues up, down, left, and right at work,
and I see my past mistakes
Learning how to work together and
getting used to each others, which
is becoming one team with trust
Even if nothing remains later
This moment is tearfully happy.

translated by Sooyoung Kim
When I was not aware of the calendar and others ignored me,
I found the reason that I'm disabled and hid in a damp place, thinking it was deserved.
However, when I came out, covered in mud,
I realized that people walk and live in the fog
on the same land and under the same sky.
Since I recognized that sunsets are sad
I struggle and squirm to live with people.
But... ...?

A river is calm.
On the calm river,
the water flows quietly.
We can βt notice outside the river
where the water moves so fast
A small stone thrown on the calm water
It bounces out of the surface of the water.
It only creates small ripples.
No matter how many stones are thrown on the calm river
the water on the river flows without stopping
There are laughters
with the sound of water flowing by the river

Thought of Love

Translated by SOOYOUNG KIM
Sky is full of dark clouds
A white and the whitest butterfly flies into the sky
The dark cloud hugs the white butterfly
The cloud starts to fall water drops finally
Soon, it will pour
Even if the butterfly gets wet
It's flying with all its strength deep and deep to the dark cloud
like it seemingly gives all its body fluids

the letters came in like jewels
I absorbed the letters
The letters also melted me
I prove my existence
with the letters I wrote.

Autumn rain
translated by Grace Moon
Autumn rain falls harshly
Harsher than Augustβs scorching sun
My mom is in this autumn rain
A warm place in my motherβs memory
where she lived for over 50 years
Yeonhui-dong, Seodaemun-gu has disappeared
The happy memories before marriage
Gimje, wonpyeong remain, but
only the memory of newborn baby might remain last in her
After this rain falls
there is a forecast of a severe winter
colder then any other winte

The journey of life starts at an origin. Both long and short journeys start from origins and return to the origin. At the age of half-one hundred, I stand again at my starting point. Ahead of another journey, I look back on my past origins and leave a trace for daughters.

EPILOGUE
April 4 2024 Note for my daughters
Dear my two daugthers
Today is April 4 2024. Mom is reading old poems that I wrote in Korean for you Jina. When mom was young, but still older than you, life was not easy and full of contradiction to me. As you know, mom and dad still have sometimes troubles, but still get along with each other. We all are different, and could have different thoughts and habits. Surely, turning years has given strenth to mom, and mom is more tolerant to any matter now. I hope that Grace might see them as well. The order of poem will be same with that in the original book. The original poems have no titles but, mom will title them. I hope that two of you would love poems. I do not mean mom’s poems, just poems. Mom thinks that poem is a like of life song. -SY

Over there
uhβ¦thereβ¦ where is that black sight?
Oh...it's creepy
There's only darkness
Ah... I see a castle over there.
There is a castle in the dark
What are those birds?
Why are those birds like that?
When I opened my eyes, the castle was gone.
As soon as I touched it, the castle fell apart.
I wandered to
find that castle
I wandered
But I couldn't find it.
In this place
There wasn't even the slightest hint of darkness.
I was curious about that darkness
I was so curious
That place I don't know
I'm so curious
I couldn't bear it
I don't know where it is
Where is that place
I searched for it
but
I opened my eyes
Now
I found out
Iβm standing
my one leg on the darkness
