I'm now in unemployment, whether it's my intention or not. This is an important time when I must begin something as my second life. And it is also time to reflect on my life that I have never cared for in order to live up to with all my energy conforming to the universal values of society. At the age of fifties, I began to realize that it was not time to unpack and clean up my suitcase, but to pack it with excitement and curiosity to embark on a true journey of life. If I've gradually erased myself to survive in competition so far, it's time to start painting a new look for myself setting out a journey to find myself.

In the meantime, I have been importing car accessories from China and selling them wholesale in America so far for my living. However, because the economy was not good, I started the restaurant business as a side job for about two years, and I was under a lot of stress because I was doing things that were not suitable for myself. If one thing goes wrong, many things get tangled up. I was at a loss for a sense of uneasiness, as if I were going on a path which was not a path for me. I began to think it was wisdom to stop before going further if I was on the wrong path. I thought that I could not escape from the slavery of reality, if I tried not to loose my little money desperately. I'm certainly lost now.
But I'm happy to be lost. Because I got lost, I could start something to find a new way. Therefore, at this moment, I am willing to enjoy the loss of my way.

I made myself a situation where I had nothing more to lose. Rather than working at a restaurant that was not fit for me, I wanted to enjoy the pleasure of exposing myself to unpredictable dangers and peeling off the risks one by one. I¡¯ll have a heart-to-heart encounter with myself that I find there, dreaming of a dramatic and romantic encounter with a new life that can be seen only after passing through a tunnel of trials and suffering.

Before I leave, I'm terrified, imagining the dangers that will face me frequently, but the sensation of a wonderful encounter with a world I've never met is covering up that fear. It's true that as we get older, we get more and more afraid of change. The usual routine of not living as an adventurer or explorer makes this special trip even more frightening. But the perception that I'll have the best life after this makes me go on a long, dangerous road. The meeting of the infinite imagination and the two strong legs, gained from running, helped me put into practice a special journey that¡¯ll require an endless running to a distance that had been vaguely dreamed of since my childhood.

When I run, I fully enjoy the joy that the water of life seems to flow through my body, which I cannot tell the source. The joy drives me to the ardent desire to run endlessly. I dream of meeting seriously with my true self there after running endlessly across the desert, across the mountains, across the river and across the Great Plains. I want fully to enjoy the time beyond myself that I get from running endlessly in admiration of the wonderful views of great nature, the new world and strangers. As I run, I comfort myself and touch my wounds, but on the other hand, I become friends of the earth and embrace the pain of Mother Nature. It is heartbreaking to imagine having the opportunity to face the source of the universe, isolated from the outside world.

Sometimes we want the most precious, beautiful, and valuable experience. There's no such thing as a free lunch. So, if I am willing to jump in to get it at a corresponding price, you may say that I am still in the middle of youth! I¡¯ll run across the vast American continent that will unfold endlessly, trying to find the source of my life and quench my thirst, dating back to the trajectory of my life.

If hardship and adversity are the pillars that support our life, we can dream of change by throwing ourselves into greater hardship and pain when we sometimes feel like one corner of our life is falling down. Just as pollack froze and melted repeatedly in the warm sun and snowy cold wind and become and become the best procuct finally , I¡¯ll run a cross-American marathon and try to melt and coagulate repeatedly in the desert hot sunshine and in the cold wind of the Rocky Mountains and to be born again. This trip will be like a kind of religious observances for me to be born a health missionary, a marathon writer and a unification activist as a spiritual brother to the spirit of Mother Nature.

Through this special trip, I would like to find a passage where the fire in my heart and the fire in people's hearts can travel to each other. This is because the fire burns even more fiercely when it meets the other fires. Through this journey, I like to receive a line of moving sentences that blows with the belows the small fire in people's hearts. Life will be more vibrant and freedom will be expanded after the soul communicates in all directions while running through this vast continent. Looking the sunset at the desert, morning in the deep valley and the morning sun above the horizon of the Great Plains, I want to gain great wisdom by thinking in a deep stillness.

I'm below an ordinary person in a way. I've never won a prize of that common notebooks or pencils or I've never played in a class-to-class football game in my elementary school athletic meeting. In military training camps, at the running on a first- come- first-served basis I always had to run, being beaten to the last. Later smartly I chose not to run after being beaten first rather than to run to the end while being beaten. So when I was assigned to the permanent post after training, I was branded as ¡®a problem soldier¡¯. I was ¡®a soldier of interest¡¯ in these days. During my three years in the army, I've never done a 10km running in full combat uniform, and I've never had done a guerilla raid training which was mandatory once a year to every soldier. If there was any inspection from the upper, I was given ¡®a special sleeping out¡¯ because my commander worried that the average record of the entire unit's performance would be reduced. Then, in my final years of service, I challenged myself with the power of the senior soldier, in order to make memories of a 10km running in full combat uniform, but I failed at the position of 3km and returned back in the ambulance.

It was a trip that came suddenly to mind like a poetical inspiration in a sense. The thought started from that I never had a long vacation during my 26 years of American life. Immigration life was not so easy by all means; the body and mind seemed to be becoming increasingly impoverished. I wanted to make a long trip. On a long journey, there was something to clear my mind and something to make up my mind. Above all, I wanted to take a full rest, putting down the weight of my life under pressure. I had to heal something like a growing pains of middle-aged puberty that designed the second half of my life. Middle-aged puberty came more like a fever than early puberty. It was a time when I could only press down on things that were rising from the inside. Now, if I don't go somewhere and vomit it, it's likely going to explode. I thought it should be a marathon trip if it was a trip. I started to know that marathons are good for meditation not long after I started marathon. I wanted to enjoy the joys of overcoming the pain and crisis that come to me continuously. I wanted to meet the forgotten me to be seen dimly beyond.

The problem was the minimum burden that was always needed when going on a trip. The burden would not be an ordinary burden if I should pass through endless deserts, huge mountain ranges and great plains. I can't run with that load. Or I need a camping car and someone to drive it. It was too expensive for me, but most of all, I wanted to have time alone for myself. Though I thought about it in many ways, it seemed to be impossible to travel alone in a marathon. I was giving up because it was impossible, but the desire to run endlessly continued to soar deep in my heart like the magma of a volcano. From what was possible, the idea set off again. In fact, it was more like a dream than an idea. I grew up thinking by daydreaming. I thought I could run about 20km a day if I packed a minimum of backpacks. Then I thought I could run to Washington, about 400km away from New York. I couldn't manage to eat, drink and sleep on a 20km run, but I wanted to run a bigger and wider world than that.

Then came a baby carriage to my mind, as if literally poetical inspiration were coming to a poet. In Central Park, I saw a person driving a baby in a baby carriage with big wheels. If I loaded the stroller, I thought I could run 35km a day. By training and building my body strong and running very slowly at 9 minutes per kilometer, I was confident that I could run 42.195km, the full course marathon distance per day. If I run for 120 days, 42 km each, I'll finish the trans- America continental marathon. Forty-two kilometers is an important thing, because it is a full-course marathon distance. The revery in the clouds was now turning to realistic plans just as a majestic mountain emerge from the clouds. Anyone who has run some marathons will agree with my calculation. Therefore, neither the people who regard me as a reckless Don Quixote nor those who praise me as a great challenger are the right answer. Of course, I should fully take into account the nasty and unpredictable nature and the dangerous moments we don¡¯t know when and how it will strike.

It took only a month from the moment I thought the last puzzle of the trip, the stroller, to put it into practice. From the moment the puzzle was set, I realized how uncomfortable and unjust it was to live alone without mind, for my mind already left me to the starting point form the moment when I thought of the stroller. The mind was flying out of the fence, beautifully drawing the parabola like a ball hit well by a home run batter.

Even if it's an impromptu trip that suddenly leaves the moment I want to leave and if I plan to cross this vast and dangerous American continent without any help, without using any gadgets, with only all your muscles, I need a minimum preparation.
, it takes a little more than four months of preparation to come out and cross .

First of all, I had to ask for the understanding of my family, including wife and mother. And I had to clean up my business first. As the whirlpool of my mind began to blow away he restaurant, like a tornado that whipped up everything in the whirlpool and I handed over the car accessory wholesale business to my cousin who helped me with my work and blew away almost everything. I was simply determined to make a fresh start after this trip. I decided to become a bare tree waiting for the new spring as it was emptied all out. I will be tired very much, but I have the guts to do anything after my mind takes such a special vacation.

A minimum of tools is needed to overcome the fear of being overtaken when I run on a road where others have never been. Although I jumped into the remote area, I needed a smart phone that would be a cord of emergency contact with people and guide me along the way. And needed a solar panel to give power to the smart phone, too. I needed a light and warm tent and sleeping bag to protect me from the cold or rain or hail. Gas and simple cooking utensils were also needed. I also bought a GPS watch to keep a record of my route. Especially I bought a strong Iron Man stroller to serve as a donkey to carry all this equipment and food and water to maintain stamina. I bought a twin carriage that could carry as much luggage as possible. I prepared some extra tubes and a backpack that I would get out of the way in the middle of the desert with only the important things in it when the stroller would be totally damaged.

In the silence and stillness of Mother Nature, I wanted to face
the desert sunset and the bright dew that forms deep in the mountains and the morning sun that rises in the Great Plains. There I wanted to let loose the sorrowful buffalo-like emotions trapped deep in my heart so that I can run around and graze to my heart's content. I dreamed of leaving my body to all the colored rays that run along the moon and stars and receiving the most whimsical caress in the world. I would feel a new taste and persons¡¯ new warm affection there where enen the climate, land and the energy flowing through the land are all different. And I will hold the essence of spectacular scenery of nature in my mind.

I was going to leave people's worries, anxieties and sarcastic thoughts behind, as well as curiosity, interest and envious eyes. People gave different worries and encouragement just as they order different foods at restaurants. Separating and meeting occur almost simultaneously. So parting is not always something to be sad about. If I leave now the familiar things behind, I will encounter new hopes, new hardships and difficulties. I will face unknown roads and unpredictable weather and the dangers that¡¯ll occur from time to time. It would be a time to be heartbroken by surprise.

The transcontinental marathon was a vague object of envy such as the Arctic expedition and the trip to the moon. For me, it was like my first love, which I always looked sideways and couldn't speak a word, but was excited. I still remember clearly the face of the girl whom I met on the street when I was a boy but could not say even a word. When I think of her, I can clearly feel the excitement of my heart. It is very few even in the world to run across the Americas without a companion or support and I am the first Asian to do so, certainly. A vague dream is becoming a great adventure. Sometimes I am likely to daydream too as if I were walking in a dream.

The roads to go have their own names. I'd run along those roads to New York from L.A, but I thought I'd have to name one independent name to the roads that I¡¯d run through on this journey. And I named it ¡®Bitdurung-gil¡¯ or 'Lightpath-MK' without hesitation. I¡¯ve thought I had a good feeling about the word ¡®nondulung-gil¡¯ or ¡®the edge road of the rice paddy field¡¯. I liked it very much when I named it ¡®Bitdurung-gil¡¯ or 'Lightpath-MK¡¯ adding the meaning of the light of peace and hope. It would be the road I¡¯d always run to east and to east endlessly, waking up in every morning and watching the sun rising! I will now be the first person to run on ¡®Bitdurung-gil¡¯ or the 'Lightpath-MK¡¯ which I named, not on the path laid down by others. No one will be able to ryn this path in one time. Of course, no one ran this path alone without anyone's help. Now I¡¯m going to run along this path with the spirit of Mother Nature, which the native Indians believe and I agree with, the spirit of the wild animals, and the heaven and earth, and the wind and the sand of the desert, thinking them as my travelling companions.
