Posted on February 27, 2026 by TaeHun Yoon 윤 태헌 尹 太憲

Like a feather released from the hand,we depart— And we saythat leaving and returningare not two doorsbut one,swinging toward each other. We call it loss.Perhaps it is a feastwhere long-separated sorrowssit down together again. Yet we stand at the threshold,and … Continue reading →
