“Small but Certain Happiness (So-hwak-haeng)” is more than simply finding joy in little things — it is an attitude toward life that discovers true happiness within the small and ordinary moments of everyday life.

At times, we lose ourselves by dwelling on the past or chasing a distant future,
forgetting to cherish the present.
But true happiness hides in the here and now, in the simple details we often overlook.

When warm sunlight brushes against a window,
when leaves sway gently in the breeze,
when a single kind word is exchanged,
when the aroma of freshly brewed coffee greets you in the morning,
when a tiny flower blooms by the roadside,
when your fingertips feel the texture of paper as you turn the pages of an old book,
or when you look up at the twinkling stars in the night sky —
even in the rhythm of footsteps walking side by side,
we can encounter small yet profound moments of joy.

These moments are the small fragments that make up our lives.
Recognizing and cherishing them allows us to awaken to the true value of living.
So-hwak-haeng is a journey of feeling the present fully
and finding deep meaning within the smallest things.

By not letting fleeting moments pass us by,
and by savoring the emotions and beauty within them,
we nurture a quiet, gentle force —
one that guides life toward warmth and fulfillment.

This mindful awareness of small joys enriches our lives.
So-hwak-haeng is not about grand change,
but about meeting the present moment with gratitude,
turning each ordinary day into a quietly radiant one.
