병든 병아리처럼
자꾸 목이 꺾인다
정신이 혼미해지고
전방이 아늑해진다
이대로 받아들이면
생이 끝날 것 같다
내 마음에 점을 찍고
나른히 해바라기를 한다!

자신에게 귀기울기
주변에 귀기울이기
하나님에게 귀기울이기
어느것 하나 쉬운 것이 없다.

알알이 포도송이가
먹음직스럽게 열려 있다
물방울을 먹음은
포도송이는 싱싱하기까지 하다
포도알을 입에 넣고
터트리면 온 우주를 부스는 기분이다
별들은 고정된 자리에서
벗어나 회오리를 일으킨다
별들은 서로 충돌하여
폭발을 하고 가루가 된다
가루가 된 별들은
좁디좁은 틈도 부드럽게 들락인다
Clusters of grapes
ripen and tempting.
When they drink the drops of water
they gleam with life.
I place a grape in my mouth
and as it bursts,
I feel as if I’ve shattered the whole universe.
The stars break free
from their fixed places
and swirl in a whirl.
They collide,
explode,
and turn to powder.
That stardust,
slips gently through
even the narrowest cracks.

AI가 답을 준다.
AI에게
고전문학과 철학 종교를 가르치면
사람보다
고매한
윤리 AI 가 존재하게 될지 모른다.
법률 위에 고매한 윤리 AI

AI gives answers.
If we teach AI
classics, philosophy, and religion,
perhaps one day
a more noble
ethical AI
than human
may come to exist
an ethics AI
above the law.

커피에서 김이 모락모락 올라간다
김은 향기가 되어 구석구석 퍼진다
향기는 담쟁이 넝쿨처럼
벽을 넘어 공기를 타고 퍼진다
커피는 뇌를 자극하여
고정관념에서 벗어나게 한다
커피와 향기는
우리를 작지만 자유롭게 한다

세상 태어나서
처음으로
내가 꿈틀거린다
진짜로 어닌가로부터
드디어 졸업한 기분이다
배워야 한다고 하는걸
배우는것이 아니라
내가 배우고
싶은걸
배우기 시작했다.

Since Born,
for the very first time
my spirit stirs.
At last
I feel I have graduated
from shadows.
No longer bound
to lessons demanded,
I begin to learn
what my heart
has longed to know.
Last time when I visited Korea, one of my sunbaes (college seniors) told me that even startups need practice (she is a CEO of Biotech CRO) and practice with any kind of business. I thought about what I could do. That was making books, since I already had personal notes. However, I did not know how to get ISBNs, how to calculate cover thicknesses, how to choose papers, or where to print and sell books.
In Korea, I used Indipub for distribution. Actually, I arranged for the printed book to be delivered directly to the Indipub’s office. In the US, I used Amazon KDP to publish a poem book, both as an eBook and in print. Printing price is cheaper in the US than in Korea, but the quality and variety are limited in the US.
This year, I tried creating children’s picture books using Pages and JPEG images by exporting as ePub. While I worked on them, I realized that JPEG (file size) is smaller than PNG, and iBooks does not support any more ePub previews, so I used Cradle instead of iBooks. I just published two books through Amazon KDP and Barnes & Noble. One book was by my first daughter, and the other by my second daughter. I hope to continue supporting other kids to publish their own books. Writing and publishing seem to help them grow and become more thoughtful about the world around them.
Furthermore, working together with my kids makes me happy and helps me learn more and allows me to better understand how the world works and how the world changes quickly. Today, I discovered how to make eBooks available for free. At Amazon KDP, authors can not offer their books for free all the time, but through KDP, we can make them free 5 days within a 90-day period.
From today, Sep27 to Sep 30, the book, Returning to Origins, is free : https://a.co/d/cIdHYP5
