Rubus coreanus jam, In contented peace

In contented peace

_______

A sweet and sour flavour.

The seeds popping out.

The refreshing joy of last autumn
that they still bring.

The deepening night.

Stars are in the clear sky and
water is in the lake.

The wisdom of our ancestors.

The wonders of everyday life 
   
   with ourselves found by us.  

Won Kang, Sagesse  2015

Free and comfortable

I am

where I should be.

I do

what I can.

I know

there is nothing to be worried and anxious about,

there is no slow and fast.

I know

there is no long and short,

there is no what is possible and not possible,

there is no loss and gain.

In soft light,

close my eyes and listen carefully.

The tender sound of rain

embraces me.

'Goodnight' 

Honest and honest

The sound of a flowing stream.

The sound of birds.

The sound of the evening leaves rustling softly.

And one beautiful book.

You who talks about

the Yamakunimachie Way

that is deep autumn…

Are you praying with comfort, 

I wonder. 

秋深く山国町に道を説く君安かれと祈らるるかな
