یاد شعر نا ته جو افتادم

Despite holding a teaching job for 43 years, Mr. Na kept writing consistently. He once took his students outside to draw flowers together, telling them, “Flowers are (not to be looked in passing but) to be examined carefully and consistently.” Then he muttered to himself, “So are you guys.” He rushed back inside to write down what he had just said, and this marked the birth of his beloved poem “Grass Flower.”
Beautiful upon a closer look / Lovely upon a detailed look / So are you. – “Grass Flower 1”
Na tae-joo (2002)

“The grass flower is not a special variety the way roses and lilies are. The flower buds from grass are too common to be rendered worthy, at least after a hasty look. Only those who make a close and detailed inspection on it will realize its beauty. The essence of this poem lies in the last line, ‘So are you.’ There’s a moment when minds and souls open up to one another after exchanging proper looks,” he said.
