This is a sequel to the previous poem under the same title.
I felt that this poem speaks for the feelings and the status of many of
my aging classmates and alumni.

I wish I could say like you as years go by.
but still wondering and wandering..
I wish I could be you in your "doong-ji".

Of course, everybody, including you, has or should have a "doong-ji," Dr. Bang,
either literally or figuratively in his heart, with the help of Good Lord,
WHO said, "Ask, you'll receive."

비록 그때 그소녀의 칠흙같던 머리칼이
희끗 희끗 숭굴 숭굴 해졌을 지라도

비록 그때 그소년의 번듯했던 이마에
주름살이 깊게 하나둘 늘어갈 지라도

그들의 그 늘 푸르렀던 꿈들은
오늘도 이렇게 시들지 않고

초원에 비쳐지는 陽光의 찬란함 같이
영원 하게 빛나리라!

꿈이여, 영원하여라.
꿈이여, 변함없어라.
꿈이여, 항상 푸르러라.
꿈이여, 너는 곧 젊음이어라.
오, 사랑의 꿈들이여,
이가슴에 영원하도다.

황박사의 멋진시 고맙소이다.

I'd like to quote the following from the book, "The Essential Spirituality" by
Wendy M. Wright, PhD, in the below.

"If you desire to love God, to meet and embrace God in the loving union of
contemplative prayer, it means that God desires this union also.
The invitation came from God; it was not your idea at all ...
Is that not wonderful? ..........
When you understand this, what difference does it make how much
you have to struggle?
You know it is worth it. You know who calls you, who accompanies you,
and who is at the end of your loving search."
