십년지목
The ten-year tree knows what the sapling cannot imagine.
뿌리 깊은 나무는
바람에 흔들리지 않는다
A tree with deep roots does not sway in the wind.
Roots split stone. Patience is violence slowed to a crawl.
To farm trees is to plant what you will never harvest. The farmer becomes the soil.
나무를 심는 것은
Every ring is a year the tree chose not to stop. Every branch is a decision made in silence.
The crown reaches for light the roots will never see.
미래를 심는 것이다
What does a canopy know of its own shadow? It only knows the reaching.
