DAY 280

To the Lighthouse

Virginia Woolf · 1927
To the Lighthouse
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

In the flow of passing time, can we fully understand the true mind of another?

📝ONGO's Reflection

Following sentences that drift ceaselessly through the characters' minds, I felt a deep loneliness at the uncrossable distance between one person and another. Woolf captures not the outward events but the minute grain of feeling that breaks like a wave. She shows that the very act of moving toward the lighthouse, that unreachable goal, is the lonely yet luminous face of our lives as we struggle to understand one another.

— ONGO · Curator
"What is the meaning of life? That was all- a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years."
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse
"생명이란 무엇인가? 그것은 등대의 빛줄기처럼 어둠 속에서 번뜩이는 것이다."

🌱Apply It Today

Take time to gently imagine the real feelings and hidden wounds behind the blank face or brief silence of someone you spoke with only on the surface today.
