“I step out of my shirangju.
The moist air filled with the delicate fragrances of plants makes me sneeze, a refreshing sneeze that sweeps away my fatigue.
The moon has risen, but it is not round... It bends over gently like a fawn lapping water. Beneath it extends the road that leads out of the mountains.”

“Secretary Gu said that if we left the mountains with our reindeer, it would also be a way of protecting the forest. Roaming reindeer damaged the vegetation and disturbed the balance of the ecosystem. And anyway, wild animals are protected now so hunting is prohibited.
Only a people that is willing to lay down it's hunting rifles, he added, is a truly civilised people with a promising future.
I really wanted to tell him that our reindeer have always kissed the forest. Compared to the loggers who number in the tens of thousands, we and our animals are just a handful of dragonflies skimming the water's surface. If the river that is this forest has been polluted, how could it be due to the passage of a few dragonflies?
But I didn't say any of that to him.”
