All. Now is the time for all of us to practice silence. Poet Anjin Yu
I would like to present a poem called ‘One Missing Word’.
“Even if it looks a little silly/I want to practice being silent./The reason
This is because the more you say, the more emptiness you feel. --
How many words exhaust a person/how lonely and empty
Do I empty it?/I want to go back to my silent practice/I want to go back to my original self.
C.--Even if there are unripe thoughts or feelings in me
while leaving/to fragrant wine/hoping to be able to wait to ferment
C.--The practice of silence/Even if it's sadness or joy in me/Sometimes it's unfair
Even when I'm misunderstood, I don't even give an explanation or excuses/I ignore it
I want to stay silent while I am in the middle of nowhere/I want to live with the courage and the guts to do that.”
Didn't Jesus live like that? Such a holy custom of Jesus
Why not practice the coffin?
