Life of Watermill

 

 

 

The stream of the valley

that was flowing majestically

as much as the whole ravine would be filled,

all died down due to long long period of drought

and it is flowing with just a one line of stream

that is like a water from a mineral spring fountain. 



With weeds and big dried branches that I broke off,

I make a handcraft watermill

and spinned it round and round. 



When I am just standing and looking at

a watermill that is spinning,

the old time that I used go out 

to a brook in front of my house

in my hometown in remote countryside

in the rainy season

and make a watermill with barely straws that I broke off

and spin it to play with water,

comes vivid into my mind. 



Ah, 

A watermill that is spinning,

It spins round and round as I see. 

I would not even know how the time goes. 

Not only me, 

but also people who are watching around the watermill,

I do not know what they are thinking 

but they are looking at it losing their minds. 


Ah, the life is like

the watermill that is spinning round and round. 

Yesterday I went round at my house in Pyeongchang-dong

and today I go round and round this valley at Mountain Samgak, 

this like, a life of watermill.


Where would I go round and round tomorrow again? 

I would go round

where the Lord tells me to go.
