come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
how little do I know of the world
fear starts to creep in from the shadows
fear used to be a motivator
now it’s a vague reminder of where I come from.
with new fresh set of eyes
I sit in with a saint, waiting for a judgement call.

if it doesn’t bring joy
get rid of ‘em
it can get scary
to be free again
but when you are from dust
what have you got to fuss?
you matter.
your time matter.
remember.
구질구질한 하루
꾸역꾸역 살아가기 보단
조금씩이라도
어렸을적 즐거움을 주던
그 길을 찾아 걸어가보는건
어떨까.

I am looking for an organic silence;
an active quietness with a purpose
sidestepping from mindless noises
submerging into a zone of focus
it may be a minute difference,
but with a full purpose and focus —
you just wait and see — explosion:
one filled with all kinds of imagination.
고요함 속에
천천한 변화 속에
새로운 세상이
불꽃처럼 등장하길
기도하고 있다.

it was a way to let it all go;
simply opening the door
and taking one step after another
leaving all of the junks behind.
holding onto nothing
but a key and a phone
I let myself go
out into the world
pastel blue sky imbued in feather clouds
greeted me like an ocean
I saw and I knew:
this is the world I live in.
오직 모든 것들을 내려놓고
내 골방을 빠져나온 후에야,
내 자신을 해방시키고 난 후에야,
나는 비로소 세상을 보았다.
세상을 본 나는 그래서야 깨달았다.
‘내가 이 세상에 살고 있구나’ 라고.

I need a worthwhile risk to be excited
Something to feel rush of life every second
beyond comfort, above safety,
towards virtue, growing with purpose
I need clarity in my eyes
to see what’s worthwhile
and discipline
to execute exact plans.
인생 재미있게 살기 위해서라도
정신차리고
계획대로 실천할 필요가 있다.

in silence, in slow action,
we peer open our eyes
watching the world blossom
little by little we realize
what we have to offer
and why we are here to together
묵언과 침묵 속에서
아주 조금씩, 조금씩
눈꺼풀을 들어다 보면
세상의 숨죽은 비밀이
보이기 시작한다.

this blue feeling is like a giant whale
swimming quietly in deep dark ocean
solemnly, redoubtably, moves it does.
inevitable, chilling effect its presence has.
yet, we swim. Mechanically, effortfully we move.
glimpse of the night sky,
blips of scattered star above high
we move and we hope it will be worthwhile.
어둡고 춥지만
우린 앞으로 나아가야만 한다.
수 많은 이들과 했는 약속을 기억하며.

it could be a chance glance on a subway train
it could be a scent in a spring breeze
it could be a punchline in a children’s book
but when it hits you like a wall of ocean waves
and you let it soak in every waking minute
you might start noticing the world suits you
like an Italian cashmere suit tailored for you.
you. only you.
기쁘지 아니한가
우연의 일치로
몸에 맞는 세상을 만난다는것이

what glory and honor is needed
when a friendly family suffices
all prerequisite for happiness
despite what shiny things symbolize
what is remembered is perhaps simple:
a loving moment shared by loving people
가까운 가족이 장땡이라고

try not to let the gifts fool you
rather than lathering yourself in gold
find discernable diet of restraint to be true;
hunger for growth, which is like fire in cold
when sprinkled like stars in dark night sky
it may shine brighter than moon above high
절제는 미덕이니
스스로를 엄격하게 대하고
가끔씩 상을 주는게
더욱더 빛나는 길이 아닌가 싶다
