The instagram French account I started dedicated to you, Dear Seok Woo, reached 6000 followers yesterday and I know it is not much in today's social media world.But I was never too keen to enter that world. I prefer to paint, write, watch movies, read books or look at the sea.I did it to support you, as it seems to be the only way, today, to show our love and support , especially in France and Europe, we are so far from you.So it might not be much in today's Tech world, but I was happy in my heart to see that, what I do each day, is shared by nice lovely people, those who love you in a deeply respectful way and are supporting you always.Writing is my thing. When I am moved in a deep way I write. I write about films, people, landscapes. I write about you these days. I love words. Even when my heart is overwhelmed with feelings. Sometimes I have no time to write, however, when I find peace inside myself, I write about you because, to me, you are first and foremost an artist, a true sensitive soul. It shows in your films or when you sing. I can see who you are. When the dreaded date comes, when you enlist in June, when my heart and thousands of others long for you, when The Murky stream is released in September, and I can see you in a story,
I will have more time and I will dedicate my spare moments to write about all your dramas, a way for me to celebrate your artistry. Maybe my longing then will be soothed and I will at least do something for you so others can read it and watch your dramas.
In the meantime, I celebrate your being in this world, with the most beautiful images I can feel inside me. Poetry comes from our soul, and because your soul is beautiful, I write with my soul too.
I hope my words for you are not lost in the big noisy images and appearance time we live in. If people dont read them, I hope you do and even if you dont, I know those words will fly like little lanterns across the universe to reach your heart now and when you are away, like a soft whispering, so you can feel the support and strength of those who love you.
I am so sad I cant be in Japan on the 2nd of May. Reality, work I cant be there. I have been dreaming of being next to you for a long time when you are on stage.
Alas you did not come to Europe to sing, but I will keep my dream alive like a flame until you are back. A Japanese friend of mine who will be in Budokan on the 2nd of May, said this nice thing to me yesterday as I was crying, she said "Cathie, I will take your heart with me at the fan meet" And that made me cry even more. You know you are surrounded by kind people who truly love you. That love and what you give of yourself to the art world, is so precious. I send you a photo of my sea, the one I look at in my French seaside village.
Much love,
Cathieh ( Rowoon France support)
