 An Excerpt from “Life like a River” in  
 
 Humans could be compared to the Daegeum
 Daegeum, an instrument with a hollow inside and many holes. While the wind and breath pass through this emptiness, they weep, laugh, shout, and shudder as the way they look. And when the wind subsided everything returned to calm and quiet emptiness. How similar it is to human life.
