When Namjoon and eAeon released Don't and he wrote "Can you remain here as a pebble? In my small chimney you could stay" I was moved by his choice of words.
A pebble.
A stone that the ebbs and flows of water has eroded but that has been made more beautiful for it.
Like how us humans are tossed around in the sea of life, our edges eroded and us turned into something less blunt with age. More.. how should I put it? Moderate. In our feelings, our reactions to what happens in life, in how we see the struggles we face, the companions we choose.. we lose our extremes like the stone loses facets and edges with the beating of the waves.
Him mentioning the pebble again in his letter today, as something he threw in hopes of it reaching us just like he does with his music..
"I do not exactly know which melody or which pebble managed to reach each of you sitting here right now. I think I'll be the one who keeps sending and throwing
Thirteen years ago, and in the future.
If there are people who listen to it."
Namjoon IS a poet.
(and I didn't read a proper translation yet, the nuances I'm sure were lost..)
I will FOREVER listen to what he wants to say. Keep throwing those pebbles/melodies out there Namjoon. They ARE reaching and helpin so many.
Love you.
