how dreams come true


book introduction

Honest reflection on nature and life

Writer Soon-Won Lee has healed our conscience and our souls with the healing method of nature and reflection. His honest reflection on nature and life makes me savor each verse while reading 『Whale Rock』. For example, 'All the water in this world flows and flows and gathers into the sea' and 'The rock is starting to crack like a thread'. Because it reminds us again that all the water is going to the sea. Because it reminds us that even rocks that are too hard for human strength to crack, break, and break according to the providence of nature. The artist honestly reads the meaning of life from nature and tells us. We all go back to nature. .

Lee Soon-won's 『Whale Rock』 is a story about 'how dreams come true'.

The whale rock on the mountain, unable to move on its own, dreams of going to the sea and finally comes true. Lee Soon-won's 『Whale Rock』 is a story about 'how dreams come true'. How can the whale rock on the mountain get to the sea? Writer Soon-Won Lee did not come up with a clever invention or draw the power of mystery to send Whale Rock to the sea. Instead, he reflected on what nature did to the rock as it appeared. Because what nature does is a miracle in itself.

The fragrance of wisdom and love of a man with a very old soul

Just by looking at the title of 'Whale Rock', it is clear that all of his wisdom and insight came from nature. The person who can give a rock a name and feel life is probably someone with a very old soul. If you read Lee Soon-won's 『Whale Rock』, you can smell the wisdom and love of a person with a very old soul. And, as he said, all rocks, including Whale Rock, may have come from the sea. Of course, the dream of Whalebawi does not come true easily. If Whalebawi had tried to go to the sea with its huge body, it would have stayed there forever. From Whalebawi to Noorokbawi, from Neorokbawi to spiky rocks, and from spiky rocks to stepping stones, I was able to throw away my desires and empty my mind and not forget the whale's dream, so I was able to embrace the sea as a myeonggae soil.

We all have the power of dreams, Whale Rock

These days, when many people are having a hard time because of the recession or for various personal reasons, Lee Soon-won's 『Whale Rock』 will give you strength and comfort. Because we are all whale rocks with the power of dreams. Everything will pass and dreams will come true.


Publisher's review

The curiosity of boy Lee Soon-won borrows the imagination of writer Lee Soon-won to create the legend of 'Whale Rock'

Lee Soon-won's 『Whalebawi』was started with 'Whalebawi' that actually and still exists in the big mountain of his hometown village. Writer Soon-won Lee dreamed of riding a whale while sitting on 'Whale Rock'. And I thought. 'How can the whale rock on the mountain go to the sea and meet the whales in the sea?' The curiosity of the boy Lee Soon-won borrowed the imagination of writer Lee Soon-won to create the legend of 'Whale Rock'.

Lee Soon-won's 『Whale Rock』 is a story about 'how dreams come true'.

The whale rock on the mountain, unable to move on its own, dreams of going to the sea and finally comes true. Lee Soon-won's 『Whale Rock』 is a story about 'how dreams come true'. How can the whale rock on the mountain get to the sea? Writer Soon-Won Lee did not come up with a clever invention or draw the power of mystery to send Whale Rock to the sea. Instead, he reflected on what nature did to the rock as it appeared. Because what nature does is a miracle in itself.

What nature does is itself a miracle

How can a huge rock get to the sea? It is difficult to imagine with human power. However, once you look into nature, rocks are broken and broken into stones, sand, and dust all the time. In the history of the Earth, continents have moved, and in the history of space, stars are formed and sometimes disappear. What is normal in nature is just a miracle to man. The author tells the arduous and long journey to the sea in a very easy, straightforward and honest way, when a huge whale rock turns into a single grain of clay. The reason why the modifier 'honesty' is attached to the world of fables that personifies rocks and animals is the artist's attitude toward nature and life.

The journey of Whalebawi Rock is a story about individual dreams, life and happiness.

The life of rocks shown by Lee Soon-won is not a fantasy and fairy tale world, but a world of natural life where joy and sorrow coexist. How long does it take for a huge rock to become a single grain of clay? How many times does it have to be broken and broken? How painful was the rock each time? What is the joy of living on a rock even though it is broken and broken? Who did the rock meet, what did he talk about, and what dreams did he have for such a long time? The journey of Whalebawi, introduced by writer Soon-Won Lee, is a story about an individual's dreams, life, and happiness that are taking place anywhere in the universe.

Honest reflection on nature and life

Writer Soon-Won Lee has healed our conscience and our souls with the healing method of nature and reflection. His honest reflection on nature and life makes me savor each verse while reading 『Whale Rock』. For example, 'All the water in this world flows and flows and gathers into the sea' and 'The rock is starting to crack like a thread'. Because it reminds us again that all the water is going to the sea. Because it reminds us that even rocks that are too hard for human strength to crack, break, and break according to the providence of nature. The artist honestly reads the meaning of life from nature and tells us. We all go back to nature.

The fragrance of wisdom and love of a man with a very old soul

Just by looking at the title of 'Whale Rock', it is clear that all of his wisdom and insight came from nature. The person who can give a rock a name and feel life is probably someone with a very old soul. If you read Lee Soon-won's 『Whale Rock』, you can smell the wisdom and love of a person with a very old soul. And, as he said, all rocks, including Whale Rock, may have come from the sea. Of course, the dream of Whalebawi does not come true easily. If Whalebawi had tried to go to the sea with its huge body, it would have stayed there forever. From Whalebawi to Noorokbawi, from Neorokbawi to spiky rocks, and from spiky rocks to stepping stones, I was able to throw away my desires and empty my mind and not forget the whale's dream, so I was able to embrace the sea as a myeonggae soil.

Explain the providence of nature with the power of dreams

On the other hand, Sun-won Lee's 『Whale Rock』 explains the providence of nature with the power of dreams. It is the power of a dream that Whale Rock has to break and break, turning into mud and reaching the sea. The reason trout and salmon go to the sea and return to the river is because of the dream of return that trout and salmon hold. In 『Whale Rock』, author Soonwon Lee gives an easy, concise and honest insight into how dreams, will, time, effort, and the providence of nature work together. Whale Rock, which cannot go to the sea without becoming smaller, and trout and salmon, which cannot return without making sacrifices, are all within the providence of nature. Human dreams are no different.

Every change is a dream come true

When the first lightning strikes it torn apart, Whale Rock screams in agony. But that's just the second change. When Whalebawi met a small bird, heard the story of the sea, and had a dream of going to the sea, the life of Whalebawi had already started to change. Whale Rock was torn every time it was broken, broken, and moved, but in fact, all the changes were a journey to make a dream come true. The same will be true of human life. It is life that is broken, broken, and moved around countless times. What matters is whether you are holding on to your dreams. The dreamer will enjoy every change as a journey towards the dream. Without dreams, change is always a trial, and trials are always painful. Just as a rock that does not shrink cannot go to the sea, it will be difficult for those who are afraid of change to achieve their dreams.

Combining nature's regression instinct with the individual's dream

In addition, Lee Soon-won, through 『Whalebawi』, talks about nature's instinct to return and the individual's dream. Just as trout and salmon have a dream of returning to the river to spawn, whale rock dreams of going to the sea may be due to whale rock's instinct to return. Perhaps our dreaming is an effort to return to where we came from. People dream of a world that is free, peaceful, equal and just. And, as the artist said, if dreams are the instinct to return, people come from a free, peaceful, equal and just world. The way the artist sees the world is both beautiful and sad. Because we are still living in an unfinished world. But on the other hand, according to his view, it is our instinct to dream, so our hopes are infinite.

The joy of satire from allegory

Even if it is not an interpretation of a dream, the joy of reading Sun-won Lee's 『Whale Rock』 can be found everywhere. This is because it is very interesting to read the lives of rocks and animals as human stories. All thanks to the artist's deep and profound insight into nature and life. The artist does not miss the pleasure of satire that the allegory gives.

We all have the power of dreams, Whale Rock

These days, when many people are having a hard time because of the recession or for various personal reasons, Lee Soon-won's 『Whale Rock』 will give you strength and comfort. Because we are all whale rocks with the power of dreams. Everything will pass and dreams will come true.


into the book

First, the rocks there were round and covered with moss. Only the one who had just been broken, broken and washed away was standing still.
P 57

I was deeply moved by the saying that even these little friends go on an adventure-like journey in search of their lost dreams. Perhaps it was a life-threatening trip.
P 91

In this river, there are stepping stones dreaming of the sea, there are young fish that go out to sea following the scent of flowers blooming on the river bank in early spring, and in autumn, they risk their lives to lay eggs in the near and far seas where they were born again. There were also mother meats that came. New life and hope were with the river.
P 113

In addition, works resembling nature, such as 『Walking with my Son』, 『19 Years Old』, 『Tree』, and 『Warnang』, captured the hearts of many readers. In 2011, Italian author Emmanuele Bertosi's picture book A Snowy Day was translated into the Gangwon-do dialect, revealing the essence of native horses.

Author's words:

When I was a child, there was a large rock resembling a whale on a large mountain in a village overlooking the sea. We called it 'Whale Bow', and the name of the big mountain was also called 'Goraeu', meaning the mountain with 'Whale Bow'.

Even in the same village, it is a rock on a large mountain as far away as other villages, so I did not see the rock for the first time when I was about 10 years old. After school, I went to catch crayfish, and I had a dream that I sat on a whale rock with my friends and went straight to the sea. When we sit on our backs the rock is like a living whale
It moved its body towards the sea and moved its tail.

And then I completely forgot about it, and as an adult, I went to visit Whale Rock again. The rock was still lying there, facing the sea in the distance. How long would it take for a whale on a mountain to get to the sea? When I was young, I thought only that was important, but as I became an adult and thought about it, it seemed that it was not just a matter of time.

There were many large stones like whale rock on the top of the mountain, and there were many angular stones at the entrance of the valley. As it descends from the valley, the stones change from large stones to smaller rocks, stepping stones, clothes stones, boulders for wall construction, fist stones, smaller pebbles, pebbles, and again they become worn and broken sand and small sand. Only when you become a dusty, dusty soil that has thrown away everything, can you embrace the sea with your whole body.

It is also a way for the whale rock on the mountain to come to meet the whales in the sea that resemble them, but maybe this is not how we live in one world. The desires of the heart that I had at the beginning are thrown away one by one along the way and empty, finally meeting the bigger world and perfecting the bigger self.
Could it be?

Here, on the top of a big mountain in my hometown, I send a blue whale lying toward the sea through the river in my heart and into the river in your heart. I hope this whale arrives safely and happily in your sea after a long and long journey.

Fall 2012 Lee Soon-won
