감지덕지_동지섣달 긴긴밤을 함께 보낸 정(情)

긴 밤 지나 새벽이 두드리니, 가슴이 쿵쾅 거린다.  어서 일어나라 성화하는 울림들이 새벽으로 찾아오고,속고 산 지난날이 도드라진다.  산천 울리고 지축이 따라 우니,남북이 어울리며 격동한다. 이제서야 온 것이다. 숨죽이며 독립운동할 때에도,쥐와 새들의 동정조차 놓치지 않았음이라. 오늘날에 이르러,배부른 고양이는 쥐를 쫓지 않으니, 이 어인 일인가? 동지(冬至)가 찾아옴에팥죽을 끓이지도, 먹지도 않는구나. 새해가 솟아도, 새로움을 더하지 않는다면, 하처(何處)에서 새로움을 만날까.

내 마음 찾아서

내 마음 찾아서

끝 간 데 없이어느 누가 시작했는지 알 수 없고어디로 가는지도 말들만 많은데내 마음은 그래도 내 마음이라지. 나도 몰라서 찾아 나섰다만누구도 대신해 주지 않아 오로지 나만결코 알 수 없다 해도 물러서지 못하지누구라도 겪는다지만 아무나 알지 못해. 자, 우리는 누구지?혹자는 여행이라는데, 자기도 몰라왜 이 여행을 시작했는지, 물어보면그게 무슨 여행이야. 길 잃은 거지. 우리는 알아, 우리 모두가 알지그건,우리이기

Becoming a better student

How many times do I need to re-learn the same lesson before I finally “get” it. So many times I was sure that it had finally clicked, just to fall over and repeat the same mistake again. The lesson I’ve struggled with as it relates to my tendencies of perfectionism – is that the only
