2010.04.27.살아오는 동안 많은 일을 겪었지만 참으로 험하고 추한 일을 다시금 겪기에 이른다.. 고마운 마음이 이처럼 무참히게 추락할 수 있음은 어찌 헤아일수 있으랴 ! 노년의 추함이랄수 있을 것인가,  금권의 횡포인가 ! 무정함의 극치인가! 눈물이 진정인가보다, 애초의 단추가 정녕 잘못 끼워진 것이리라, 선의에 감춰진 모진 욕심을 알지 못했구나.

그러나 여기서 새길을 찾고. 마음으로 뭉치는 기쁨을 느낀다. 모든게 잘될 것이라는 희망을 본다.  그럴것이다. 4.28. 성무일도 시편기도에 108편의 말씀이 빛을 주신다.  하느님 제 마음 든든 합니다. Paratum cor meum, Deus!  그리고 Becoming fully human에서 읽은 Sufi교훈을 되새긴다.  This too shall pass away!  좋은 날이건 궂은 날이건 모두 지나간다는 것, 한 때라는 것, 부질없다는 것, 얷매이지 말라는 것, 걱정에 매이지 말라는 것이리라   How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction    

"This too shall pass" (Persian:این نیز بگزرد, een niz bogzarad, Hebrew: גם זה יעבור‎, gam zeh yaavor) is a proverb indicating that all material conditions, positive or negative, are temporary. The phrase seems to have originated in the writings of the medieval Persian Sufi poets, and is often attached to a fable of a great king who is humbled by the simple words. Some versions of the fable, beginning with that of Attar of Nishapur, add the detail that the phrase is inscribed on a ring, which therefore has the ability to make the happy man sad and the sad man happy. Jewish folklore often describes Solomon as giving or receiving the phrase. The proverb and associated fable were popular in the first half of the 19th century, appearing in a collection of tales by the English poet Edward Fitzgerald and being employed in a speech by future American President Abraham Lincoln.

The phrase appears in the works of Persian Sufi poets, such as Sanai and Attar of Nishapur.^[1] Attar records the fable of a powerful king who asks assembled wise men to create a ring that will make him happy when he is sad, and vice versa. After deliberation the sages hand him a simple ring with the words "This too will pass" etched on it, which has the desired effect.^[1]

Jewish folklore often casts Solomon as either the king humbled by the proverb, or as the one who delivers it to another. Many versions of the folktale have been recorded by the Israel Folklore Archive at the University of Haifa.^[2] In some versions the phrase is simplified even further, appearing as only the Hebrew letters gimel, zayin, and yud, which begin the words "Gam zeh ya'avor" (Hebrew: גם זה יעבור‎‎, gam zeh yaavor), "this too shall pass."

The story, generally attached to a nameless "Eastern monarch", became popular in the West in the first half of the 19th century, appearing in American papers by at least 1839.^[3] In 1852 the English poet Edward Fitzgerald included a brief version in his collection Polonius: A Collection of Wise Saws and Modern Instances. Fitzgerald's unattributed version, titled "Solomon's Seal", describes a sultan requesting of King Solomon a sentence that would always be true in good times or bad; Solomon responds, "This too will pass away".^[3] On September 30, 1859, Abraham Lincoln included a similar story in his "Address Before the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society, Milwaukee, Wisconsin", thereby further popularizing it:

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!^[4]
