시집: 태초와 나, 그리고 삶과 죽음
이 시집은 나의 지난 날의 학문여정을 반영하며 개인적인 관심사인 태초와 우주, 그리고 우리의 불안정한 삶과 죽음의 문제를 다룬다. 이것은 나의 불완전한 시이며 이야기이다. 여기에 실린 사상은 오직 나의 불완전함을 전제로 이야기한다. 나는 누구를 설득하거나 내 것이 맞다고 말하지 않는다.
독자는 이것을 읽음으로서 자기와의 대화를 하길 바라고 자기의 이야기를 담아내길 기대한다.

The Body is our ultimate destiny
What Remains: Why the Body Is Our Ultimate Destiny
—Yung Suk Kim, PhD
Strip away the job titles, the milestones, the accolades, and even the painful stumbles, and what are you left with?
When the noise of daily ambition fades, a quiet, undeniable truth remains: my body is the only thing that stays with me until the very end. Success will eventually leave me, or I will leave it behind. Failure, too, is a transient visitor that loses its sting over time. These metrics are fleeting social constructs—here today and redefined tomorrow. But my physical form is the constant companion of my consciousness. It is the sole medium through which I experience every breath, every joy, and every moment of existence on this earth.
Sowing Today for Tomorrow's Architecture
There is a literal, biological law at play in our everyday lives: what we sow for our body today shapes our future body. Every cell in our physical form is in a continuous state of renewal. How we nourish ourselves, how we move, how we rest, and how we handle stress today serve as the literal blueprints for how we will inhabit the world tomorrow. Caring for the body isn't merely a routine maintenance task or a superficial pursuit—it is an investment in the very architecture of our future agency.
The Myth of Separation
We often live as though the mind and body are separate—as if the mind is merely a tenant renting space in a temporary house. But human experience is deeply embodied. How we think, feel, create, and love is tethered to the vitality of our physical vessel. Tending to the body is honoring the ground upon which all our mental and emotional life rests.
Honoring the True Destiny
Realizing that our body is our ultimate destiny brings a profound sense of peace. It frees us from chasing external horizons at the expense of our health. When success and failure lose their tight grip on our self-worth, we are returned to the quiet dignity of the simple, tangible present: breathing, walking, resting, and caring.
Ultimately, taking care of you body isn't about vanity; it is about honoring the one home you are guaranteed to live in for the entirety of your life.
Reflection Question:
When you look at your daily routines today, are you sowing seeds for the body you want to inhabit tomorrow?
Silent Eloquence
my companions, and my inspiration.
Wordlessly,
they speak to me with eloquence.
Their beauty is unparalleled—
far beyond a thousand fine garments.
Gently, I water them,
look upon them, and feel their touch.
