The New Snow on the Rocky Stream
by Prof. Sung-Kyun Kim

The cumulus clouds in the blue sky, 
The new snow on the rocky stream,

In my sight, both of clouds and snowy rocks seem similar.
I just see the clouds, and I come to the snowy rocky stream closer.

The clouds move and change shape slowly.
The stream wins over the rocks not through strength but by perseverance.

The rocks look like clouds, blanketed by snow.
An ordinary person who finds the strength to persevere is a hero.
