If I Stand

해 이외에 아침에 떠오르는 것
달 말고도 밤 하늘을 밝히는 것
여기 앞에 놓인 모닥불말고도 날 따듯하게 해주는 것
이 방보다 더 큰 보금자리

바람 이외에도 초원위에 뛰놀며 춤추는 자
늦은 오후 바다의 썰물 외에도 파동하는 것
우정의 사랑보다 더 강렬한 사랑
갓난아이의 어머니 품보다 더 부드러운 손 길

단순한 감정보다 더 깊은 순종
내가 부를 수 있는 그 어떠한 노래보다 귀한 노래
이 땅의 것들은 소유권을 놓고 다투지만
난 오직 선한 것으로 배푸시는 분의 것이라네

내가 이 자리에 설때 당신의 인도하심 위에 서게 하시고
그렇지 못할때엔 처음 주신 당신의 은혜속으로 넘어지게 하소서
내가 노래할때엔 내 안에서 우러러 나오는 기쁨으로 하게 하시고
그렇지 못해 슬퍼할때엔 본향을 그리워하는 자의 눈물이 되게 하소서

- rich mullins, translation by timothy kim

가을 하늘

구름 한점 없는 높고 높은 파란 하늘에 뛰어 들고 싶다.
비록 바람은 서늘하지만 윗통벗고 들어가 물장구 치고 싶다.
너무 추워 내 입술이 하늘보다 더 파래지면
붉디 붉은 단풍 불꽃에 몸녹이면 되니까.

- 김디모데

오늘 쉐난도아에서 야외예배를 드린 후 하나님께서 만드신 너무나도 멋있는 가을 하늘과 단풍들을 즐길 수 있었다. 솔직히 말해선 교회에서 나오면 꼭 하는 항상 똑같은 게임들보단 그냥 유유히 풍경을 즐기는데 시간을 더 보냈으면 했지만 그래서 일상에서 나와 자연을 느낄 수 있었다는 점 하나만으로 오늘은 성공!! ^_____^

Shakespeare In Love

Shakespeare in Love

What light is light, if Sylvia be not seen?
What joy is joy, if Sylvia be not by?
Unless it be to think that she is by,
and feed upon the shadow of perfection.
Except I be by Sylvia in the night,
There is no music in the nightingale;
Unless I look on Sylvia in the day,
There is no day for me to look upon.
She is my essence, and I leave to be,
If I be not by her fair influence
Fostered, illumined, cherished, kept alive.

Valentine, in The Two Gentlemen of Verona by William Shakespeare

Words, magical words,
Let the words of my love paint thy face.
May the beauty of your presence shine before me.
But there are no words.
Gone are the portrait, and my brush not by.
Swift is the dawn, swifter the set.
Magic no longer be.

- s.m. Timothy Kim, inspired by Shakespeare in Love

What if

What if the day had one more hour,
Would I get more done?
What if the week had one more day,
Would I rest better?

What if I was taller,
Would my shoulders not slouch?
What if I was stronger,
Would I yawp louder?

What if I stumble,
Would I tumble down the road?
What if I cry,
Would I still be a man?

- s.m. Timothy Kim

חנה & 智慧 (Grace and Wisdom)

Where Wisdom falters,
May Grace prevail.
When Grace is short,
Let not Wisdom fail.

In the midst of Grace
And Wisdom, chaos erupts.
Only nightmare to be worn
by the torturous nights;

Dazed and confused
I lift my pen of shameless
Ink. Young and restless,
I seek comfort in my hands.

- s.m. Timothy Kim

The L word

It might be lonelier
Without the Loneliness—
I’m so accustomed to my Fate—
Perhaps the Other—Peace—

Would interrupt the Dark—
And crowd the little Room—
Too scant—by Cubits—to contain
The Sacrament—of Him—

I am not used to Hope—
It might intrude upon—
Its sweet parade—blaspheme the place—
Ordained to Suffering—

It might be easier
To fail—with Land in Sight—
Than gain—My Blue Peninsula—
To perish—of Delight—

- Emily Dickinson

Oh Lord

Oh Lord,
Death be upon me.
For I can take no more.
You’ve taken my vigor away,
Take my burdens as well.
My wishes are futile and
Thy will, I do not desire
Oh Lord,
Let death be upon me.

- s.m. Timothy Kim

Morning

What is it about the morning that is so beautiful and amazing?
It makes the day seem like there are more good possibilities.
Maybe it is the quiet that allows you to think,
Or maybe it is the feeling like you’re the only person on the earth.
I love the early sunlight asking the world to wake up once again.What is in store for me today?
I don’t know, but I hope it is good.- May Lee

I’m no superman

Well
I know what I’ve been told
You gotta know just when to fold
But I can’t do this all on my own
No, I know I’m no Superman
I’m no Superman

- excerpt from The Scrubs main theme song
