겨우살이

겨우살이

하루살이에게
어찌 사느냐
묻지 마라

대답하는
순간조차
그에게는
천금이다

삶이
고단한 그대여

하루하루
겨우산다고 말하지
마라

나목 앙상한
참나무가지 끝에
매달려

혹독한
겨울밤 의연히
지새는 겨우살이를
보라

매운
겨울바람 속에서
황금빛 찬란한
열매를
잉태한

겨우살이는
결코 겨우산다고
말하지
않는다

칼바람
온몸으로 맞으면서도
치열한 꿈을 놓지
않는다

Jon Ossoff wins in Georgia, ensuring Democrats will control the Senate.

Jon Ossoff wins in Georgia, ensuring Democrats will control the Senate.

Jon Ossoff and the Rev. Raphael Warnock campaigning in Atlanta. Both defeated their Republican opponents, assuring that the balance of power in the Senate will shift.

Democrats took control of the Senate on Wednesday with a pair of historic victories in Georgia’s runoff elections, assuring slim majorities in both chambers of Congress for President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. and delivering an emphatic, final rebuke to President Trump in his last days in office.
The Rev. Raphael Warnock defeated Senator Kelly Loeffler, becoming the first Black Democrat elected to the Senate from the South. And Jon Ossoff, the 33-year-old head of a video production company who has never held public office, defeated David Perdue, who recently completed his first full term as senator.
Both Democrats now lead their defeated Republican opponents by margins that are larger than the threshold required to trigger a recount under Georgia law.
The Democrats’ twin victories will reshape the balance of power in Washington. Though they will have the thinnest of advantages in the House and Senate, where Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will break 50-50 ties, Democrats will control the committees and the legislation and nominations brought to the floor. That advantage will pave the way for at least some elements of Mr. Biden’s agenda.

Mr. Ossoff’s victory comes at a moment when the nation’s political leadership has been paralyzed by a pro-Trump mob that stormed the Capitol and halted the formal accepting of the Electoral College results by Congress. The day’s extraordinary proceedings — rioting interrupting the peaceful transition of political power — crystallized the campaign the Georgia Democrats ran against their Republican opponents, both of whom pledged to seek to overturn the results of the presidential election to keep Mr. Trump in office.
The Republicans’ losses in a state that Mr. Biden narrowly carried in November, but that still leans right politically, also amounted to a vivid illustration of the perils of embracing Mr. Trump. He put his diminished political capital on the line with an election eve appearance in Northwest Georgia. And Mr. Perdue and Ms. Loeffler unwaveringly embraced the president throughout the runoff races even as he refused to acknowledge Mr. Biden’s victory and brazenly demanded that Georgia state officials overturn his loss in the state.
The political fallout of Mr. Trump’s tenure is now clear: His single term in the White House will conclude with Republicans having lost the presidency, the House and the Senate on his watch.
Mr. Ossoff and Mr. Warnock won thanks to a frenetic get-out-the-vote push that began immediately after the November election, when no candidate in either race claimed the majority needed to avoid a runoff. Driving turnout among liberals and Black voters in the early-voting period, Democrats built an insurmountable advantage going into election day.
They won thanks to overwhelming margins in Georgia’s cities, decisive victories in Georgia’s once-Republican suburbs and because of lackluster turnout on Tuesday in the rural counties that now make up the G.O.P. base.

겨울 아가 1

겨울 아가 1

눈보라 속에서
기침하는

벙어리
겨울나무처럼
그대를 사랑하리라

밖으로는 눈꽃을
안으로는 뜨거운
지혜의 꽃
피우며

기다림의
긴 추위를 이겨
내리라

비록
어느 날
눈사태에 쓰러져

하얀 피
흘리는

무명(無名)의
순교자가
될지라도

후회 없는
사랑의 아픔
연약한 나의
두 팔로

힘껏 받아
안으리라

모든 잎새의
무게를 내려
놓고

하얀
뼈 마디 마디
봄을 키우는
겨울나무여

나도
언젠가는
끝없는 그리움의
무게를

땅 위에
내려 놓고
떠나리라

노래하며
노래하며

순백(純白)의
눈사람으로

그대가
나를 기다리는
순백의
나라로

당신은 충분했다

당신은 충분했다

주변
사람들의
시선으로부터
자유로워지자.

지치지않게
천천히,

그리고
꾸준히 목표를
향해 나아가자.

느리다고
느껴질때마다
괜찮다고
다독이자.

빠르게
가고자 하는
욕심 때문에

처음 꿈을
향했던 설렘을
잃지 말자.

그리고
마침내 목표에
다다랐을때,

지나온 길을
나답게 돌아보자.

속도는
상관없다.
천천히라도
좋으니,

그곳에
또 다른 당신이
더욱 빛나는

모습이었으면
좋겠다.

최선을 다한
시간들에는

최선을
다하지 못한
자신을 자책했던

그 시간까지
포함되어 있으므로
의심하지
말 것.

괜찮다.
당신은 충분했다.

All His Ways are Just

All His Ways are Just

Let
my teaching
fall like rain

and
my words
descend like
dew,

like
showers
on new grass,

like
abundant rain
on tender
plants.

I
will
proclaim
the name of
the LORD.

Oh,
praise
the greatness
of our
God!

He is
the Rock,

his works
are perfect,

and
all his ways
are just.

A faithful God
who does
no wrong,

upright
and just
is
he.

Deuteronomy 32: 2-4

나의
교훈은
내리는 비요

나의 말은
맺히는 이슬이요

연한 풀 위에
가는 비요

채소 위에
단 비로다

내가
여호와의 이름을
전파하리니

너희는
위엄을
우리 하나님께
돌릴찌어다

그는
반석이시니
그 공덕이
완전하고


모든 길이
공평하며

진실무망하신
하나님이시니

공의로우시고

정직하시도다

이웃에게 복을
빌어주며

행복을

정성을 다하는

성실한 마음

실수하고
넘어져도
언제나 희망으로

다시
시작할 준비가
되어 있는

겸손한 마음

곱게 설빔
차려입은
나의 마음과
어깨동무하고

새롭게
길을 가니

새롭게
행복합니다.
