The training of the skilled
is like a castle built on the sands

The skilled in training
builds a sweet home on the solid rocks.

I think I am someone qualified to write poetry
When I see poetry, that is true
When I see one or two poets
I realize I am unqualified to write poems. Meeting such poets
and I love them
They tell me through their poetry
I love you
more than their poems
I always think that a poet's background
is more important than theirs
They speak to me
That is why
poetry survives longer than the poet
Any experience
the blood, not the heart
The heart is talent
It too is a gifted talent
That is why we can write poetry with joy
regardless of our backgrounds
of course
The heart cannot exist without blood.

-to Jina and Jun

not the training of skill
but the skill of training.

When spring comes
things become more visible
Warmth
newness
and vitality
Dancing with these things
is the privilege of spring
Just as the dance stops
when the music stops
spring greets other springs
of the four seasons
You are cleaning up the party.

When my children were young
I told them this:
"Only ask me for help
when you absolutely cannot solve it yourselves."

Many years have passed

Now
the children say to me:
"Dad, only ask us for help
when you absolutely cannot solve it yourself?"

What my heart desires is not to solve things
but to be there with them
My children must have felt this way back then too.

One
values human relationships

The other
values humanity itself

I chose the latter,
but the former also plays an important role for me.
