Your Pilgrimage

by Ko Un tr. Brother Anthony of Taizé and Lee Sang-Wha

A slower pace, a somewhat slower pace will do. Of a sudden, should it start to rain, let yourself get soaked. An old friend, the rain.

One thing alone is beautiful: setting off. The world's too vast to live in a single place, or three or four.

Walk on and on until the sun sets, with your old accomplice, shadow, late as ever. If the day clouds over, go on anyway regardless.

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

“There were dazzling days When I longed to tear out my eyes And replace them with other eyes.”

“You fools who ask what god is

should ask what life is instead.

Find a port where lemon trees bloom

Ask about places to drink in the port.

Ask about the drinkers.

Ask about the lemon trees.

Ask and ask until nothing’s left to ask.”

Asking the Way by Ko Un

세상은

세상의 부족(不足)입니다

사랑은 자못

사랑의 부족입니다

나 어쩌지요

수십년 전 그날로

오늘도 나는 감히 사랑의 뗠려오는 처음입니다

다리미질 못한 옷 입고

The world

is in want of the world

Love, ever so much

is in want of love

What shall I do

Like the day decades ago

I dare tremble even today, as when love first came

Putting on clothes, unironed

awkwardly
