This tree was beside a restless sea.
I didn’t walk the dog this morning, because things were very snowstormy. But later there were periods of clearing.

Caveat: 높은 가지가 부러지기 쉽다
I found this aphorism in my book of Korean aphorisms.
높은 가지가 부러지기 쉽다
nop.eun ga.ji.ga bu.reo.ji.gi swib.da
be-high-PART branch-SUBJ break-NOM be-easy-INF
The high branch breaks easily.
This refers to the fact that the higher branches of a tree break more easily, and it’s a metaphor for how those who climb the highest socially experience the greatest loss when they fall. “The higher they climb, the harder they fall” seems the equivalent English language version.
Caveat: Poem #2386 “For possible utilization later”
ㅁ I found a sad, discarded washer lying in the grit of the road. It was a ring of iron blending in with the rocks. So I picked it up. You never know... you will need rusty things.
