A WELCOMING PLACE

This week's theme was inspired by the Korean poem below. I chose the colours white, green, and yellow to reflect what our hearts would look like when light pervaded them, and the beauty they would display when our hearts emulate the wind and trace the layers of the hearts of others where we learn to love, understand and empathize. May our hearts be places that welcome those who visit them.

방문객
작가: 정현종

사람이 온다는 건
사실은 어마어마한 일이다.
그는
그의 과거와 현재와
그리고
그의 미래와 함께 오기 때문이다.
한 사람의 일생이 오기 때문이다.
부서지기 쉬운
그래서 부서지기도 했을
마음이 오는 것이다
그 갈피를
아마 바람은 더듬어 볼 수 있을 마음.
내 마음이 그런 바람을 흉내낼 수 있다면
필경 환대가 될 것이다.

THE VISITOR
Writer: Jeong Hyeon Jong

The coming  of a person
is, in fact, a tremendous feat.
It is because he brings with him
his past and his present
as well as
his future when he comes.
It is because a person's whole life comes with him.
As it is easily broken,
the heart that comes with him
might have already been broken - 
the heart whose layers the wind could trace,
if my heart could emulate the wind
it would be a welcoming  place.
