A Song of Flower thinking about Philosophy
- Book Intro
-
This book titled『A Flower, You are as I Am』 is a beautiful collection of poems containing philosophical thinking of the poet for flowers. He wrote the poems with poetic words easy to read through a lyrical flower song by breaking the prejudice that philosophy can be regarded as difficult. The poet begins to draw his poems thinking 'why did flowers come to us?' When he sees grass flowers blooming that make the world beautiful and fragrant, he thinks that flowers tell us to resemble them so that we can bloom our life with good fragrance. If I resemble flowers and become flowers, everything could be clearly flowers and the philosophical thinking for life can be also a song of wind when a flower blooms and falls. When a poem is transcribed, the poet hopes that it resembles flowers, revealing the first light of flower, and like a song about a flower’s poem, seeing the world beautifully, even if weak and poor, and eventually becomes a flower for happiness to someone and gives comfort to themselves. He thinks that even if Western philosophy as flowers bloomed in the West, and Oriental philosophy as flowers bloomed in the East have a different color of each flower, the meaning of poetry songs cannot be different as it reaches the blooming of one ultimate sublime flower. Therefore, the poetry of this collection can share emotions with people anywhere in the global village regardless of language. This collection of poems shows his philosophical thinking that the meaning of the existence of flowers and the meaning of my existence in the lives of all people on Earth is the same.
