It's been ages since I stayed up all night.
I was completely out.
I kept nodding off all morning. My neck nearly snapped several times.
Still, I'm happy.
How long has it been since I lived like this, like a youth?

Hanagae Beach on Muuido Island, Incheon, Korea.
Late autumn has already arrived, and the sea shuns people.
Yet the beach and tidal flats surrounding the sea, along with the mountains and autumn foliage, still yearn for human presence.

Today marks the anniversary of Admiral Yi Sun-sin's historic victory at the Battle of Myeongnyang. The lunar date of September 16, 1597, corresponds to this day in the modern calendar. The lunar calendar is closely tied to the sea. To see the sea of that battle, one must look upon the sea today.

This morning reminds me of the Finnish novel, The Pelican Man.
A pelican wearing human clothes, people mistaking that pelican for a human.
People who wage war through indifference, greed, ideology, and religion, even while living together.
Nature is always nature. Yet people deny it.

The more I read these materials, the more I feel like I'm sinking into a swamp.
Still, someday the fog will lift a little,
so even that swamp has meaning.
After all, most of the time we don't even realize we're in a swamp.

220 years ago today, British Admiral Nelson fought and defeated Napoleon's Franco-Spanish fleet at Trafalgar, where he was killed in action.
He is often compared to Admiral Yi Sun-sin in Korea.

Yesterday I went to Sorae Wetland Park in Incheon.
This autumn, I started these suburban walks for the first time.
This too is a world different from books.
Sorae Wetland Park. The vast wetland opens up your chest.
The faint song of reeds and silver grass, created by the wind, is also soothing.

I came to the Seoul Six Martyred Ministers Park.
It's been a long time since I went on an outing in Seoul.
Knowing history,
the attitude with which we live our lives.
None of this is easy.
Even so, there are things we must know,
things we must protect and endure.

I visited Myeongnyang with students from the Naval Academy Department of Mokpo National Maritime University. On the 16th day of the 9th lunar month in 1597, Admiral Yi Sun-sin fought and defeated 133 Japanese ships with just 13 of his own.
That sea still churns violently, as if remembering him.

A video of Spanish soldiers singing the Korean military song [Going to the Front] in Spanish.
In Korea, all young men must serve in the military as a duty.
I also served for 27 months during my youth and sang that song.

After years of collecting, my materials on Admiral Yi Sun-sin are finally stepping into the light. Records I waited for, relics found by chance, traces that crossed seas from China, Japan, the U.S., and Korea. Not grand, yet deeply meaningful. At year’s end, I’ll share a glimpse of this journey.

A rock bloomed a flower.
Yeongheungdo Island, Incheon. Sipripo Beach.
The forward base for the Incheon Landing Operation.
More than the commemorative stone marking that history,
the small flowers sprouting from the rock crevices seem to ensure
that painful history is not forgotten.

The world is vast, yet small. A book I ignored for years was translated 15 years ago—I just learned this.
Ignorance isn't only what we don't know, but what we choose to ignore. We think we're in the ocean, but sometimes we're in a well.
Still, no need to force it. My ship is sailing toward my sea.

Hansando’s waters once rang with Admiral Yi’s 1592 victory over Japan. Today it’s peaceful, with a shrine on shore and turtle ships recreating his legacy at Tongyeong.
In 1592, Admiral Yi Sun-sin defeated invading Japan at Hansando. Now the waters lie quiet, no fleet in sight. On Hansando stands a shrine to him, and off Tongyeong float models of his famed turtle ships.

I stopped by the seaside briefly. A few times a year, whenever I have business requiring my assistance, I make time to visit. The sea still hasn't fully awakened. The waves continue to snore quietly.
