작가노트
It's already been more than 60 years since I arrived on Earth, and I am still surrounded by curious things. While I have been feeling sorry as one of the human beings that cause serious river pollution, I met on an afternoon walk two green frogs! Smaller than my thumb, the tiny green frogs first clung to my palm and then started leaping from here to there. How amazing is that? When they jumped into the pond, I was amazed at the length of their extended hind legs. It's so amazing and beautiful.
I also remember the eyes of the puppy I encountered in front of a fruit store, that liked me so much for no reason. He kept fidgeting with delight, and his pure curiosity and hospitality toward me touched me strongly and brought tears out of me. I learned from his unconditional love and expressions of curiosity.
When the spring comes, every corner of the roads and even the Dumulmeori port overflow with blossoming flowers. Small cockscomb flowers, flaming-red poppy flowers, shy-looking sowbreads, dancing castor leaves, and dark yellow pumpkin flowers... They all harmonize in a miracle. What are they? Why do they bloom in their own unique looks and ways of life, while existing in the same time and space as me?
When raindrops patter against the pond, I'm not the only one who's amused by the scene. All kinds of carps-red, yellow, and black- also start to twirl along the ripples in joy. On the mirrorlike surface, the carps fly through the sunshine and clouds. All of such beauty of the world is what my father gave me.
The world in which the carps dance in the water, frogs swim freely, countless flowers repeat to bloom and wither, and I can see through an innocent puppy’s eyes the reflection of shining sky and myself, is the greatest gift and pristine state of love. I pray that I can turn this gift over to the next generation, just as my father did. The more I get old, the more I realize that I am just a stranger who is traveling on this planet called Earth. I hope when I travel back to Earth at some other time, that I can still meet the fancy carps, cats, dogs and poppy flowers. I am so grateful that despite our lack of concern for nature, they are still there with us. Each day is a miracle!
