묵상 / 행복하십시오

 

행복하십시오                            당신은 지금 이 순간                          진정으로 행복하십니까?                          아니면 어린시절까지                          먼 과거의 세월을 더듬어야                          당신 삶의 행복을 찾아낼 수 있습니까?                          지금 막 그것을 발견하고 있다면                          아마 당신은                          행복하지 않았다고                          말할 수 있습니다.                          그러나 지금 행복하십시오.                          행복이 있을 때마다 그것을                          두 팔로 받아 안으십시오.                          그리고 삶이 마련해 놓는                          작은 기쁨의 전율들을 마음 터놓고                          받아들이십시오.                          맛있는 커피, 알맞게 구워진 토스트                          기름이 가득한 연료탱크                          황금 물결이 굽이치는 밀밭                          아름다운 석양 그리고                          당신 상관이 말하는                           칭찬의 소리.                          항상 금덩이를 찾으려고                          애쓰지 마십시오.                          그 일은 얼마 가지 않아                          피곤하고 지루해지니까요.                          다만 눈에 보이는                          작은 금싸라기를                          즐기며 사십시오.                                                                  - M. 메리. 마고 -
