작가의말

오십년이지나
물방울하나
경이로운빛이되었다.
두돌을맞이하는손자의
눈동자에서
경이로운빛을본다.

책속에서

아무리휘갈겨쓰고다녀도
흔적하나없다
흰구름낙서마저지우고가는

소금쟁이

하늘거울의왕자

나무가묵은잎을지상에날릴때
누군가머리맡꽁초를멀리던지고
쪼그라든겨울햇빛을렌즈에모아
겨자씨햇살로봄을지피는소년

석가의위대한깨달음은말씀을기록한
경전에서나온것이아니다.
윤회의사슬을벗기고벗겨
생명의씨가번개의숨결처럼스쳐간

궁극의빛을영원에서발견하고
멸하지않는생명을스스로깨달은것이다.
빛이었고어둠이었고광휘였던
그깨달음은생명이빛이잠시머무는순간

태어나고사라진다는것이다.
육신이찢기고거듭죽었다가태어나
생명의근원을발견한석가가도달한궁극의빛은
경전에기록될수없는찰나이다.

생명의빛이사라지면경전은
폐지로전락하고말지만구극의빛을체험한인간,
석가는그생명의광휘를밝히고
경이로운빛의인간으로살아있는것이다.
-「경이로운빛의인간」
