INTRODUCTION

✨ In this poem-like reflection, Master Woo Myung expresses the quiet solitude of one who comes from Heaven. 🌿

Though his face is familiar to the world, people do not recognize who he truly is. He speaks of his origin, but no one understands; thus, he continues to walk in silence, bearing the solitude of one unseen and unknown. 🌌

This solitude is not despairβ€”it is the quiet truth of one who walks the path of Heaven and Truth, even if the world cannot yet see or understand.


ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG

Solitude I

Though a familiar face is walking on the street,
people just look at him as he passes by.
They do not recognize this person who is from Heaven
and so he, with his familiar face, remains silent.

Everyone sees me and everyone knows me,
but even though I tell them I am from Heaven
no one seems to know me.
Perhaps this is only natural
since it is only just recently that I have arrived.
Nevertheless I alone walk on in my solitude;
there is no one who understands what I am feeling.

– Woo Myung
