Into the book
It was only after a long time that I realized that my parents' difficult lives were themselves a poem, a painting.
--- p.5
A life that goes against the wind but still continues in the same direction. That applies to me too.
At first, he drew a thatched-roof house with an old, dark pine tree in the background, but he redrawn it to give his grandmother a small house with a jewel-like stone wall and faintly blooming pink peach blossoms in the backyard.
--- p.18
Finally, when the remaining buds bloom into beautiful flowers, they must be matched by a matchmaker. The method is to spray pollen onto each flower individually.
Because it cannot correct itself, new life is born through the careful connection of humans.
--- p.63
Those moments when you looked out with one uncomfortable eye closed together with your daughter at the peach blossoms in your backyard in spring, the deep green barley fields in summer, the larch trees on a distant mountain in autumn, and the snowy nights of winter. Are you watching your daughter live beautifully with both eyes?
--- p.80
A hundred years ago, that day, the sun must have passed over this place without fail. I captured the countless stories of Geumseong Church, a place where countless lives have passed and continue to pass, gathering and exhaling the breaths of each and every person.
--- p.100
The zest of surfing lies in waiting for the right moment.
When a wave rolls in at the perfect speed and height, and I catch it without a single misstep at the precise moment, that's when I make myself most wonderful.
