Autumn Rain

10월에 비가 내리면

캐나다의 한가위 추수감사절을 하루 앞둔 비 내리는 일요일 아침. 가을비를 흠뻑 맞으며 달리기를 하고 난 후, 한결 여유로운 마음으로 OCTOBER의 일곱 알파벳으로 시작하는 acrostic을 써봤습니다. 더불어 지난 2주간 담아 온 밴쿠버의 10월 풍경을 나눕니다.

October has come to the West coast city,

Crisp air from the northern mountains,

rich aroma from the trees,

serene beauty of nature are everywhere,

and yes,

Thanksgiving is here—

Wondrous delight in an abundant feast!

Oracle’s prophecy—

Lord, is this the land I was meant to live?

They shall live on the land

I gave to Jacob my servant,

the land where their ancestors lived;

they shall live on it always,

they, their children,

and their children’s children,

with David my servant

as their prince forever. (Ezekiel 37:25)

Beautiful time of the year:

glistening fall colours,

fragrant harvest,

family gathered at the table—

give thanks to the Lord.

Enjoy the festivity,

for the season won’t be long,

like our life on Earth;

everyone and everything shall pass—

cruel beauty of temporality.

Running in the autumn rain,

With every raindrop,

I feel the pulse of the living world.

And when the clouds break,

I hear the whisper—

Be still, and give thanks.
