양파를 벗겨내며 흘리는 눈물과 닦아내는 콧물은 삶의 고단함과 인내를 상징합니다. '오늘을 걷어내면 내일은 더 하얄까'라는 질문은 현재의 고통을 견뎌내면 더 맑고 깨끗한 내일을 맞이할 수 있을지에 대한 희망과 회의를 동시에 담고 있습니다. 또한, 중심의 가부좌를 통해 진리를 만나고자 하는 갈망은 내면의 평화를 추구하는 인간의 본성을 보여줍니다.
'주어진 앞날들은 하야리 믿어봐도'는 미래에 대한 불확실성과 희망을 동시에 표현하며, '도마에 칼 다짐 소리 목탁 될 날 있을까'라는 구절은 일상의 고된 노동이 결국에는 평온과 깨달음으로 이어질 수 있을지를 묻습니다.
정하선 시인의 시조는 삶의 고통 속에서도 희망을 찾고자 하는 인간의 내면을 깊이 있게 탐구하며, 독자들에게 공감과 성찰의 기회를 제공합니다.
Onion
Jeong Ha-seon
Shedding tears and wiping away snot, If I peel away today, will tomorrow be whiter? Can I encounter the Buddha seated at the center? Even if I trust the given future, If I peel away today, will tomorrow still have dark spots? Will the sound of a knife striking the cutting board someday turn into the sound of a wooden gong?
Jeong Ha-seon's Collection of Sijo (Galmosanbang) Wisdom 2025, May
The tears shed and the snot wiped away while peeling an onion symbolize the hardships and endurance of life. The question, "If I peel away today, will tomorrow be whiter?" embodies both hope and doubt about whether enduring today's pain will bring a clearer, purer tomorrow. Furthermore, the yearning to encounter the Buddha seated at the center reflects humanity's innate pursuit of inner peace and truth. The phrase "Even if I trust the given future" expresses both uncertainty and hope regarding what lies ahead. "Will the sound of a knife striking the cutting board someday turn into the sound of a wooden gong?" questions whether the toil and struggles of daily life might ultimately lead to serenity and enlightenment. Jeong Ha-seon's sijo deeply explores the human soul's quest for hope amidst life's suffering, offering readers moments of empathy and introspection.
Oignon
jung ha sun
Versant des larmes et essuyant un nez qui coule, Si j'épluche aujourd'hui, demain sera-t-il plus pur ? Puis-je rencontrer le Bouddha méditatif au centre ? Même si je fais confiance aux jours à venir, Éplucher aujourd'hui pourrait encore laisser des taches noires demain. Le son de la détermination sur la planche à découper Se transformera-t-il un jour en le son d'un gong en bois ?
Extrait de la collection de sijo de Jeong Ha-seon (Maison de la montagne Galmo), Sagesse 2025, 5
Les larmes versées et le nez essuyé en épluchant un oignon symbolisent les difficultés et l'endurance de la vie. La question : « Si j'épluche aujourd'hui, demain sera-t-il plus pur ? » reflète à la fois l'espoir et le doute quant à savoir si endurer les souffrances présentes apportera un lendemain plus clair et plus lumineux. De plus, le désir de rencontrer la vérité à travers la méditation révèle la quête intrinsèque de l'humanité pour la paix intérieure. La phrase « Même si je fais confiance aux jours à venir » exprime à la fois l'incertitude et l'espoir pour l'avenir, tandis que « Le son de la détermination sur la planche à découper se transformera-t-il un jour en le son d'un gong en bois ? » interroge si les efforts de la vie quotidienne peuvent finalement mener à la sérénité et à l'illumination. Le sijo de Jeong Ha-seon explore profondément le désir humain de trouver de l'espoir au milieu des luttes de la vie, offrant aux lecteurs des moments d'empathie et de réflexion.
