The sky was clouded with black clouds from the morning when I started at Conway. There was a slight drizzle. It repeated raining and stopping. It wasn't likely to rain much and it was forecasted to clear up later in the afternoon. After eating lunch in Villonia, I went to McDonald's to rest my tired body. During recess, I posted comments on Facebook and called friends everywhere. Listening to the news of friends and family during a lonely and long trip is a great comfort and strength. What's more, it's important to say hello to those who are concerned about my foot injury during a hard trip.

It was not long after lunch, so I ordered only coffee and five chicken nuggets from the counter and sat down at the table. There were three persons sitting next to me, apparently they seemed to be one family, who had been looking at me with curious eyes since I came in. There were people sitting at several tables inside the restaurant, but I used to sit next to people who were particularly curious to me. They've always been talking to me and I was enjoying it. I answered their questions and asked them some questions to find that it was the best rest for me. If I didn't do that and always looked for an unnoticed corner in the restaurant, it would surely have been an exercise of four months' silence.

The grandpa next to my seat talks to me as expected :

¡°Are you really walking from LA to New York?¡°

"Yes, indeed! But I'm not walking. I'm running. Of course, I'm walking now due to an injury at my leg. It's already been two and a half months since I left Santa Monica Beach on February 1st.

Grandmother asks this and that with interest :

"When was the hardest time?"

"It was time to pass through the Mojave Desert! I lost my way often, and my life was perilous several times a day because of water and food!¡°

Their daughter asks me a little cynically and I answered her with a smile on my face :

¡°What did you get from all that trouble?¡±

¡° I got the mind of ¡®Thank you!¡¯. I got to thank my family, friends and everyone. I used to complain to persons around me all the time, and I knew it was a blessing to me."

And she gave me a more cynical look like she was deliberately doing it, saying, "You got something that big, but what more do you keep running for? Can you go home now?¡°

¡°Not at all. I need to know who I am. I need to know what I like and what I can do and what my limits are. I have to make sure I have the power and energy to do anything even at the age of 57! I run to get closer to my heart."

I answered so and found my answer wonderful. Her cynical face quickly turned into the look of a girl fan standing in front of Leif Garrett and said, "Great! I'm also 50. It's my honor to know a powerful friend like you." They listened very interestingly to me about my unusual trip. It was not raining outside the window, still. Grandpa said, "If you haven't decided where to sleep tonight, why don't you sleep at my house? There's a barn and there's a second-floor room, so I'd like you to sleep anywhere you like." It was an offer, not a question. Maybe it was more like an order from grandfather to grandson. In fact, I was worried about finding a place to sleep tonight, so when I got the offer, I said without delay, "That's very kind of you!" As soon as the place to sleep was settled, it began to rain heavily outside the window.

Outside McDonald's window, suddenly the rain was pouring down just as there is a hole in the sky. The sound of heavy rain hitting the windows sounded like a magnificent pipe organ. I came in for a coffee break, but in less than 15 minutes, the thick rain poured down cats and dogs, and soon the ditch overflows. It's a luck to me. If I had passed this Mc¡¯Donalds, I¡¯ve surely met this heavy rain in the vast field. Then how could I find the dry place to sleep? The mere thought of it made me dizzy.

It rained so for some time. They asked me to take their car with them, but I said I couldn¡¯t take any car, so if they gave me their address, I would visit them when it stopped raining, and then they waited for the rain to stop. When the rain subsided a little, the car took the lead and I followed it, pushing my cart. Fortunately, the house is not far away. After taking a shower at their house, I feel comfortable writing my travel diary at the table in the kitchen, as if I were in a relative's home. Grandfather and grandmother chatted in front of the TV, and daughter Terry went into her room. This is what every house in the U.S. is like, and this is what every house in Korea is like, too. Like dry firewoods, no more laughter or children's cries are heard in a split family, and only the silence is covered. That is the same fate that mankind faces in the 21st century.

Mrs. Peggy prepares dinner around 6 o'clock. There were sausages and ham, toast and pear jam from the yard of their daughter's house, and boiled beans and potato stir-fry. They were just common foods in American homes, but it was a hearty meal for the guest. Mr. Robert puts food on my plate and then puts it on his plate. Terry just watches me eat deliciously for a while. Sharing food with someone is also a magical moment to share spiritual rapport and enhance intimacy, not just to fill a hunger-stricken stomach. Even if food is made from the same ingredients, each person has each different flavor. If the culture is different and the environment in which we have lived is different, then the taste, the style and thought can be different little by little.

When we open the door to others, and share differences in a very personal space of home, we will find the joy of finding the same. We don't eat food with our enemies. We don¡¯t eat with persons whom we don¡¯t like. It's been quite a while now since I left home. I¡¯ve always filled my empty stomach by myself. So when I sometimes share food together and talk to strangers about President Obama and President Clinton and talk about our female President Ms. Park and Kim Jong-un, I feel coolness as if something blocked is getting through.

It¡¯s a good luck. I mean it's a good thing to have a dry place to sleep on a stormy day like this. El Paso means 'passing through' in Spanish. I was going to pass El Paso and stay somewhere for a night, but I didn't just past, but stayed there. If I had passed El Passo without thinking, it would have been a place which would be forgotten soon. But I stayed in a warm house there, so it became a place which would remain long as a good memory. I avoided the storm and got comforted by the persons who were so warm like the April sunshine. So how can I forget this warm memory?

Grandfather boasts that his wife is still pretty, as this year marks the 51st anniversary of his wedding. When she was young, there were so many bachelors who followed her. He said he had great luck because she chose him as her better half. They boast that they have two daughters and one son and now live with their eldest daughter, and that they have five great-grandsons. Grandfather said he grew up here, and his children lived in a nearby city, so he could often meet them. Grandfather asked me how old I was and if I were married or not. I replied I was 57 and married over 50 and have no children, but my wife is pretty as your wife. Grandfather said I looked much younger for my age. In a room full of dolls, I slept well like a prince in a fairy tale. Maybe it's the room where great-grandchildren sleep when they come to meet them.

There is still swelling in the shin, but there seems to be a pleasant energy flowing through the whole body. Grandma got up early and prepared breakfast, and grandfather, a traditional Southern Baptist, prayed for my safety for my journey. I did an "amen" that came from deep inside. Grandma gave me a hug, writing down her phone number to make sure I would call when I arrived safely. Spring is coming wonderfully with the spring rain. The sound of my footsteps on the road in spring is fantastically harmonious and rhythmic with the sound of my busy heartbeat. In spring, something lively and fast rhythms go well together, for the movement of life is busy in new spring. Yesterday's rain brought the flowers in the front yard to a fine bloom, but flooded here and there. I thought fish could enjoy a wider world like me in swollen streams and rivers. The world has become wider, but the current is tough, so fish and I should pay more attention to safety.

The vague longing for the unknown world pulled me into the middle of the continent in a powerful attraction. It took courage to put into practice a dim, even bare imagination. It was, in fact, a reckless courage. In a way, there was a belief that my sweat and effort on this reckless road would be a training for my tomorrow. Instead of being filled with the food eaten at three times a day, I wanted to meet new people and fill me up with new energy.

I, who was not complacent in one place for a long time, happened to start a marathon, and it was revealed that marathon is the best to me. It's good to run endlessly like this. It is good to travel around under the pretext of doing a marathon. It's wonderful to go around the world with a flag of marathon, meet people who are different in culture and people, and eat foods that grow with different climate and soil in the region and have different tastes.

The best solace to a man is a man, really. When we open the window, it opens our heart wide. When we open our heart to a man, that alone makes the world rich. Comforted frustration can rise and run again. There are all kinds of healing solutions in our heart. We are now living in an era in which love is absolutely necessary. This is a time when the skill of sharing and caring is needed more than any other high technology. A hot resonance that amplifies as the heart gets closer!
