TO DAZZLE LIFE OUT OF TRAGEDY Remember me by my moments of bellowing laughter and heartbreaking joy. Measure my life by the outbursts, each time my heart broke out of my body so it could beat beside another. Because when the day comes, I want the earth to say Here Lies: a person whose heart belonged to the world. A person who loved enough. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5799994ff7e0ab03ddd9cc88/t/5bf73fd521c67c5581ce7b09/1542932039321/ POETRY - HEART MATTERS What if we were all heart and nothing else and we learned to know each other by the pace of our heartbeats. How - it quickens for the things we love. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5799994ff7e0ab03ddd9cc88/t/5bf74144c2241bd501ea3a26/1542932165264/whitesand.png POETRY - ON RESILIENCE I welcome grey for a chance of glimmer. I would rather know silver than the open blue. Because when the sun shines through, which it always does, the skies will open in a shimmer, silver dust flying. When you are grey, you must know, it means you glow with silver too. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5799994ff7e0ab03ddd9cc88/t/5bf741912b6a28e7ef16f322/1542932404913/GANGNAM%2C+KOREA POETRY - Y(OUR) HAPPY PLACE The setting sun grazes the face of red brick buildings, graces me with their blushed cheeks. in the wild (if left free) She bursts behind mountains, the way only a star could, setting their peaks aglow with halos, cloaking their royal bodies purple. Between daylight and nightfall there is a sliver of time that suspends reality, a stretch of magic across the sky. Here she conjures gold to delay darkness so we, too, could blush like sun-kissed sidewalks. Behold The Golden Hour before sunset (arrives today at six-thirty). https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5799994ff7e0ab03ddd9cc88/t/5bf73f051ae6cf43c289919b/1543016964155/lotuspond%2C+jeonju+korea.png POETRY - HEARTBREAKING BEAUTY A beauty that takes your breath away, leaving in its place a pang in your chest, a ripple of knowing chills who rise to say, "I need you to know, something beautiful happened here." https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5799994ff7e0ab03ddd9cc88/t/5bf745eef950b75bc4a4e384/1542932016988/Screen+Shot+2017-10-31+at+9.57.29+PM.png POETRY - TO YOU WHO ARE HEARTBROKEN You have not broken apart. You have broken open. Let your pain break your heart open. Let your light beam through the cracks. Let your heart spill onto the world. Because this is how we heal. By breaking our hearts. By letting light through. By letting our hearts sing. By letting our hearts be heard. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5799994ff7e0ab03ddd9cc88/t/5bf744d44ae237e15d2ff73a/1542932258662/IMG_7099.JPG POETRY - EVERYTHING DOES NOT HAPPEN FOR A REASON Heartbreak cannot be mended, but it can be transformed. http://www.goingtowardsheartbreak.com/han daily 0.75 2019-01-09 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5799994ff7e0ab03ddd9cc88/t/5bfb8ce40e2e7260250a951f/1605242805611/ 한 & KOREA Lee Yong-Soo halmuni (grandmother) speaking to reporters in front of an exhibit memorializing the lives of “comfort women”, which features my translation work. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5799994ff7e0ab03ddd9cc88/t/5bf47826352f53d27dda524f/1605242805618/IMG_5354.JPG 한 & KOREA - Garden of Buried Dreams 3x5 ft. biodegradable bamboo coffin Here lies: sprouts grown from seed paper planted in a ceremony to bury the dreams that never came to be, to offer them a chance at new life. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5799994ff7e0ab03ddd9cc88/t/5bf2040cc2241b40fbffa239/1605242805615/IMG_2695.JPG 한 & KOREA - heart break data: My heart, still for 32 minutes, while translating an account of how Japanese soldiers disembodied a girl for refusing to obey.
