The scorching sun seems to have set the tree on fire, as hot and colorful things bloom between the green leaves. I was taken aback by that mirage and stood in front of it, but instead my eyes were drawn to the trunk. Every year, the crape myrtle sheds its bark, and its surface is so smooth and “natural” that it resembles a beige camouflage pattern. Is there a more philosophical tree than this? Seeing the blazing red flowers and the trunk that has shed its bark and become smooth somehow gives me courage. It is not easy for anyone to break away from what is familiar. There is the excitement of a new beginning, but I cannot ignore the fear either. That is why I admire all those who start. I love explorers who never stop searching for the treasure in their hearts. The crape myrtle trees are planted in a row from the main gate of a university to the building far away. Perhaps the person who suggested planting the crape myrtle trees here had similar thoughts to me. #WePassedTheTree #기록클럽 #배롱나무
