“다듬이 질”

Posted on February 21, 2026 by TaeHun Yoon

어머니와 누님의 다듬이 이중창이 그리워지내요.  서서히 따따따 그리고 빨라지다가 살포시 사라지는듯 걷다가는 냅다 질풍노도로 내달리며  한참 땀을 내듯한 뜀빡질이 어느듯 동네 어구를 돌아 선 다시 처음으로 돌아 따따따 내내 두분이  앞서거니 두서거니 하신다.  지침이 없는  아름다움이 동네 골목 하늘에 가득하다.  … Continue reading →

찬양은 할 수 있어요!

Posted on February 20, 2026 by TaeHun Yoon

부활절을 어느덧 한달 남짓 앞두고 교회마다 성가대원들의 부활절 준비가 바빠지고 있는 저녁이었습니다. 교회를 공동으로 사용하고 있는 미국인 교인들도 서둘러 성가대 연습실로 들어가고 있었습니다. 그 때, 교회 정문 앞에 차 한대가 서면서 문이 천천히 열리면서 환자용 워커(Walker)가 먼저 차 밖으로 나오더니, … Continue reading →

Mother, as I walk this Lenten journey of spiritual pilgrimage, I thank God that I can finally write to you with a heart that feels light and joyful. If not for God’s grace, I would still be keeping my distance … Continue reading →

“어머님의 금지환”

Posted on February 19, 2026 by TaeHun Yoon

어머니! 요즈음 사순절의 영적 순례의 길을 걸으면서 어머니에게 이렇게 기쁘고 홀가분한 마음으로 서신을 올릴 수 있게 됨을 하나님께 감사드립니다. 하나님의 은혜가 아니었으면, 아직도 저는 어머니와 멀찌감치 떨어져서 있을 뿐이었겠지만, 하나님께서는 그것이 얼마나 큰 죄인가를 깨닫게 해주셨어요 어머니! 제가 결혼 후에 … Continue reading →

“The First Daffodil Blooming on Ash Wednesday”

Posted on February 17, 2026 by TaeHun Yoon

When time first split apart,light stepped out from darkness—drawing a trembling, slender lineacross the void. Creation held its breath,then exhaled,and in that single momentthe Imago Dei was formed: a joy not yet spent,a brightness untouchedby any shadow that follows all … Continue reading →

“재의 수요일에 핀 첫 수선화”

Posted on February 17, 2026 by TaeHun Yoon

시간이 처음 갈라질 때,빛은 어둠에서 걸어나와—허공 위에떨리는 가느다란 선 하나를 긋는다. 창조는 숨을 멈추었다가다시 내쉬었고,그 단 한 순간에하나님의 형상이 빚어졌다: 아직 소진되지 않은 기쁨,만물을 따르는그 어떤 그림자에도닿지 않은 밝음. 우리는 그린다.노래한다.쓴다. 그리고 기억과 역사, “내가 바로 그 사람입니다,”정진함도 그 말의 … Continue reading →

“For Souls Waiting for Spring…”

Posted on February 17, 2026 by TaeHun Yoon

In early January, when winter’s cold was at its fiercest, I climbed a mountain. Bare gray branches shook in the wind, dry leaves wandered freely through the valleys, and ash‑colored rocks lay exposed like uncovered skin. I had always thought … Continue reading →
