The Lord of the Universe Drinks Cocoa

During the mid-seventies when I was Maintenance at East Garden I frequently got on the opposite end of issues with Hyo Jin Nim. The first time I ever met him Hyo Jin threw a soccer ball at me as hard as he could. It stung. I picked it up and threw it back at him as hard as I could, it hit him in the stomach doubling him over.

This set the tone of our relationship. I had a couple experiences of physically fighting with a 13 year old Hyo Jin. The guards had to physically separate us. I never got in trouble for this. Finally we became pretty good friends.


Father had this impossible fishing condition and was to the point of exhaustion. Mother caught Him by the arm, spanked him in the butt and told Father that He was not leaving the premises until he had a cup of hot cocoa.

It was a laugh to see the Lord of the Universe sheepishly sipping cocoa at the kitchen counter with mother looking on like a mother preparing her kid to play out in the snow.

If we have a Parent's heart and are willing to commit ourselves totally, True Parents will follow us.
