"What was in the heart that tried to hold endless ranges of mountains and rivers within a single scroll?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
Unrolled, the river and mountains flow on without pause. Yi In-mun deliberately drew, in one long stretch, a landscape no single field of vision could contain. I see in this painting an unwillingness to fix an ending. When people begin a task, they sketch its conclusion first, but mountains and rivers make no promise about where they ought to break off. Like a road where rounding one bend reveals another, a life too is filled not by its destination but by its going on. That we do not know the end is no reason to stop.

If a task is hard to bring to a close, walk on looking not at the end but only at the next bend.
