One person bears the day on land and another at sea, beneath the same sky.

Text by Byun Joung Hoon

The sun rises. The husband goes to the field, and the wife goes to the sea. The husband drives the ox and plows the field. Sweat soaks his back. The wife enters the water. She gathers sea snails and picks abalone. One on the land, one in the sea. Under the same sky, with the same heart, they shoulder the day. With that sweat, a child grew. With the sweat the parents drew up day by day from the land and the sea.

Every day in the world raised someone that way.
