"Solitude is not a private space over against the public space
of community, nor is it merely a healing space in which
we restore ourselves for community life.
Solitude and community belong together; each requires the other
as do the center and circumference of circle.
Solitude without community leads us to loneliness and despair,
but community without solitude hurls us into a "void of words
and feelings"
Solitude is essential to community life because in solitude
we grow closer to each other.
When we pray alone, study, read, write, or simply spend quiet
time away from the places where we interact with each other
directly, we are in fact participating fully in the growth of
community.
It is a fallacy to think that we grow closer to each other
only when we talk, play, or work together.
Much growth certainly occurs in such human interactions, but
at least as much growth can take place when we enter
into solitude.
We take the other with us into solitude, and there
the relationship grows and deepens.
In solitude we discover each other in a way which
physical presence makes difficult, if not impossible.
It is in solitude that compassionate solidarity grows.
In solitude we realize that nothing human is alien to us,
that the roots of all conflict, war, injustice, cruelty, hatred,
jealousy, and envy are deeply anchored in our own heart.
In solitude our heart of stone can be turned into a heart
of flesh, a rebellious heart into a contrite heart, and a closed
heart into a heart that can open itself to all suffering
people in a gesture of solidarity."
From Solitude and Community by Henri Nouwen

또한 하루의 2-3편의 영화를 보았었다는 "영화광' Hopper의 작품들 중에는 영화중에
character를 표현한 그림들도 있고,
"New York Movie" 란 그림을 보면 극장 층계앞, 벽에 비스듬히 기대어 생각에 잠겨있는 여인의 모습에서
일상생황에서 벗어나 다른세계로의 탈출? 기대의 심정이 느껴지기도합니다.
어느 누군가가 "영화는 다른 세계(세상)로 가는 것" 이라고 말했다지요.
보통 일상생활속의 한 순간을 포착해서 우리에게 '아름다움'을 느끼게하고 'Thought Provoking'
그림들을 그린 "Hopper"는 많은 일반인들에게 ugly하게 보이는 미국의 모던 건축물도
한참 잘 보면 아름답다면서 많이 그리고, (아마도 이분은 미술 작업을 위해서도
'SOLITUDE'를 많이 enjoy했었을 것 같은) 미국을 사랑한 애국자 ??, American Realist Artist (1882 - 1967)입니다.
"Edward Hopper" 의 작품들을 다시금 감상 할 수 있게 "Travel with a Painter" 흥미있는 기행문을 올려주신
민선생님께 감사드립니다.

Dr.& Mrs. Lee
You meant this piece. It tells many things.
I read yesterday about Murakami Haruki.
I heard his book will become a movie presented to Venice movie festival by a
French -Vietnamese director?
It is called "Norweignian wood" something ?
Someone commented that "solitude" "loneliness" in his characters is a prelude to "love".
This emotion dominates often the psych of the adolescent period, looking for a partner
to make a family according to the design of the Creator or evolutionary process.
Dr. Zhivago story played on this emotion too.
If everyone is happy and self content, we do not need another human being.
Then, we must be extint on this planet.
"극장 층계앞, 벽에 비스듬히 기대어 생각에 잠겨있는 여인의 모습에서"

Minn sunsangnim,
Yes, the picture that you put right above is the one.
Of course, depending on the perceptions and imaginations of each person
it could tell lots of different stories. Dr. Minn.
