 할 일이
 많아도  

 할 일이
 적어도

   보내는
 시간은 같다

   정작 무엇이
 바람직한것인지는
 알 수 없다!!

 

Time

 

Whether there’s a lot to do
or very little to do,

   we spent the same time.

  I don’t really know
what the ideal situation is!
Little or much to do.

Circle of Time

Circle of Time

11/22/2025, written by Sooyoung Kim

Time passes.

Time passes and always returns to itself.

A day goes by.

Days pass, and we always arrive at the same day again.

Dates slip away.

A date returns each year to meet us again.

Seasons turn.

Winter comes back every year.

The same time, the same day, the same date, the same seasons.

Every year, my birthday returns.

and I grow older.

I am drawing circles of time,
circles of days, circles of dates, circles of seasons
a circle of life.

AI가 답을 준다.

  AI에게
고전문학과 철학 종교를 가르치면

  사람보다
고매한
윤리 AI 가 존재하게 될지 모른다.

  법률 위에 고매한 윤리 AI


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.

처음으로

세상 태어나서
 처음으로
 내가 꿈틀거린다

   진짜로 어닌가로부터
 드디어 졸업한 기분이다

   배워야 한다고 하는걸
 배우는것이 아니라

   내가 배우고
 싶은걸
 배우기 시작했다.


Awakening

Sep 6, 2025, written by Sooyoung Kim

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.

Poem Book—Returning to Origins—Free

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
