Her new book Living, Dreaming and In Between is published in English and Korean. We would like to congratulate on her new book and wish her every success.
The Children of Human Womb
There are secret pathways
In between Living and Dreaming.
Free-willed wind knows.
Circling stars tell us so too.
There is a bridge of hope
hidden between tears and laughter.
See it for yourselves in spring flowers
and rainbows after big storms.
The world is full of songs
in the hearts of young and old.
Listen to the murmuring brooks
and the sweet little songbirds.
Every Living-being holds
its own beauty of Personal Legend*
in the fold of each name.
Desert flowers know,
so do spawning salmons in upstreams.
It’s only you and I
and she and he,
the children of human womb,
who are too oblivious to the wisdom.
