그대의 우산

 

 

그대의 우산

비를 맞는
사람에게
살며시 다가가
우산을 씌워준다

누군가에게
우산이 되어
준다는

참 행복한
일이다

비바람을
막아주는
우산

나도
이 세상
누군가를 위해
몸도 마음도
젖지 않게
해주는

다정한
우산이 되고
싶다.

CALL UPON ME

CALL UPON ME

He will
call upon me,
and I will answer
him;

I
will be
with him
in trouble,

I
will
deliver him
and honor
him.

With
long life
will I satisfy
him

and
show him
my salvation.”

Psalm 91: 15-16

저가
내게 간구하리니
내가 응답
하리라

저희
환난 때에
내가 저와 함께
하여

저를
건지고
영화롭게
하리라

내가
장수함으로
저를 만족케
하며

나의 구원으로
보이리라
하시도다

홀로 가는 길

홀로 가는 길

홀로
가는 길처럼
느껴만지던
삶에

함께
갈 수 있는 이가
있다는 것은
행복입니다

뒤돌아볼 수 없이
빠르게 흐르는
시간들
속에

추억하며
웃을 수 있고
내일을 소망하며
살아간다면

남부러울 것 없는
삶입니다

우리는
언제나 그럴듯하게
삶을 꾸미고
사는 것
같지만

서 있는
자리를 바라보면
빈 모습이 많다는 것을
알 수 있습니다

오늘도
내일을 위해
몸부림치며

삶의 지혜를
짜내야
합니다

우리
가는 길에서
휴식을 얻을 수 있는
여유가

삶에
풍요로움을
이룰 수
있습니다

어찌 보면
뒤처진 듯 보이지만
서두르지 않고 오늘을
살아갑니다

허둥대고 망설이면
어설프게만
느껴지고

시간이
너무도 빠르게
흐르는 것만 같아
마음에 여유를 갖고
살고 싶습니다

홀로
가는 길이 아닌
함께 가는 길을 위해
어울려 기뻐하며

주어진 삶을
살고 싶습니다

The Spanish Flu Pandemic 1918 to 1920

flu pandemic of 1918–1919.

 

The Spanish flu pandemic 1918 to 1920

The Spanish flu pandemic lasted from 1918 to 1920.
Older estimates say it killed 40–50 million people while current estimates say 50 million to 100 million people worldwide were killed.

This pandemic has been described as “the greatest medical holocaust in history” and may have killed as many people as the Black Death, although the Black Death is estimated to have killed over a fifth of the world’s population at the time, a significantly higher proportion.

This huge death toll was caused by an extremely high infection rate of up to 50% and the extreme severity of the symptoms, suspected to be caused by cytokine storms.

Indeed, symptoms in 1918 were so unusual that initially influenza was misdiagnosed as dengue, cholera, or typhoid. One observer wrote, “One of the most striking of the complications was hemorrhage from mucous membranes, especially from the nose, stomach, and intestine. Bleeding from the ears and petechial hemorrhages in the skin also occurred.” The majority of deaths were from bacterial pneumonia, a secondary infection caused by influenza, but the virus also killed people directly, causing massive hemorrhages and edema in the lung.

The Spanish flu pandemic was truly global, spreading even to the Arctic and remote Pacific islands. The unusually severe disease killed between 10 and 20% of those infected, as opposed to the more usual flu epidemic mortality rate of 0.1%. Another unusual feature of this pandemic was that it mostly killed young adults, with 99% of pandemic influenza deaths occurring in people under 65, and more than half in young adults 20 to 40 years old. This is unusual since influenza is normally most deadly to the very young (under age 2) lo and the very old (over age 70). The total mortality of the 1918–1919 pandemic is estimated to be between 50 and 100 million people, constituting approximately 3–6% of the world’s population. As many as 25 million may have been killed in the first 25 weeks; in contrast, HIV/AIDS has killed 25 million in its first 25 years.

Covid 19 Pandemic

When Plafker arrives at the cemetery, it’s buzzing: Vans pulling in with bodies aboard, mounds of dirt piling up as graves are dug open, a line of white signs pressed into the ground marking plots that are newly occupied. Some of the few signs of life in this anguished city are coming from those tending to the dead. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

The group serves Jews who mostly die with little or nothing. A century ago, it buried garment workers killed in the Triangle Shirtwaist fire and those who fell to the Spanish flu. More recently, it was Holocaust survivors who fled Europe. And now, those dying of the coronavirus. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

He Will Cover You

He Will Cover You

He will
cover you
with his feathers,

and
under his wings
you will find
refuge;

his
faithfulness
will be
your shield
and rampart.

You
will not fear
the terror
of night,

nor
the arrow
that flies by day,

nor
the pestilence
that stalks
in the darkness,

nor the plague
that destroys
at midday.

Psalm 91: 4-6

저가
너를
그 깃으로
덮으시리니

네가
그 날개 아래
피하리로다

그의 진실함은
방패와 손 방패가
되나니

너는
밤에 놀램과
낮에 흐르는 살과

흑암 중에
행하는 염병과
백주에 황폐케 하는

파멸을
두려워 아니하리로다

일상 속의 기도

일상 속의 기도

바위 틈새
풀 한 포기

처마 끝 제비,
조각 구름

생명 있는 모든 것,
무생물까지도
사랑하게
해 주세요

앞마당에 놀러 온
까치 소리에
길을 나설 수
있고

차 한잔에도
감사하게 해
주세요

망막의 작은 떨림
심박동의 갑작
스러움에도

안절부절
조마조마하지 않게
평안하게 해
주세요

한때 내가
멀리했던
이웃들

무던히
비굴했던
나 자신을 용서하게
해 주시고

알게 모르게 저지른
거짓 행동까지
용서해
주세요

슬픔은
엷은 미소로
가지치기를

어둠은
한줄기 빛으로
물을 뿌려

무관심은
사랑으로
잔디를 깎고
양분을
주어

내 삶의
정원을 잘 가꾸게
해 주세요
