🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"What do the tangled vine and the heavy hanging clusters of grapes resemble?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This painting by Choi Seok-hwan holds in ink a grapevine that winds and stretches with clusters set at its ends. The stems seem tangled at their own whim, yet in the end they lead to fruit. I see here the comfort that a winding road is not in vain. The vine that cannot run straight, that bends and snarls, is the very one that bears the most fruit. A person's road, too, is not only straight. The places one circled back to, the times one was blocked, look later like the stem that had to be there for the cluster to form. To have bent is not to have grown wrong.

Rather than regretting the road you circled back on, reckon once what that bend let you bear.
