Spending nearly a year seeping into the children of the Baraka Library, I was completely assimilated into them. From the children who were complaining because they didn't want to enter the class, they became my friends who played soccer imitating Son Heung-min together.
In the eyes of children who are both playful and serious, there are children's lives that touch my heart without explanation. These deep, clear eyes become small mirrors that reflect me and make me wonder. And there's hope, light that we chase so much.
I want you to find yourself in these children's eyes by slowly looking into the children's eyes.
바라카 도서관의 아이들 속에 스며들어 근 1년을 보내며, 나는 아이들에게 완벽히 동화되었다. 수업에 들어오고 싶지 않아서 떼쓰던 아이들에서 나와 같이 손흥민을 흉내내며 축구를 하는 친구가 되어.
장난스럽기도 하고 진지하기도 한 아이들의 눈에는 부차 설명하지 않아도 가슴을 울리는 아이들의 삶이 담겨있다. 그리고 그 눈들에 우리가 그리도 쫓는 희망, 빛이 있다. 깊고 맑은 이 눈들은 작은 거울이 되어 나를 비추고 곱씹게 한다.
아이들과 천천히 눈을 맞추며 아이들의 눈에서 자신을 발견하길 바라며.
