Buckwheat —"Fateful Encounters"
(Sustenance · Resilience)

Buckwheat — not wheat, not grass—but born of a stubborn heart, buckwheat grows where others wither.
It asks for little. Poor soil, hard ground—still, it rises.
Like fate, it does not wait for the perfect moment; it simply arrives.
What is meant to be will bloom, even in unlikely places.

In Korean floriography, buckwheat is said to mean “lovers.”
Not the loud kind, but the kind that feels inevitable. Quiet. Familiar.
Like someone you were always going to meet, whether or not you were looking.

Some meetings come softly, yet feel carved into time.
In When the Buckwheat Flowers Bloom (1936) by Lee Hyo-seok,
a man walks into a pale-lit field and unknowingly returns to a piece of his past.
Beneath the quiet blossoms, fate completes its circle.

Some people come into our lives and feel like they were always meant to be there.
There’s no reason, no explanation—just a quiet recognition.
Like two paths always destined to cross.

So may this bloom remind you:
Not everything is a coincidence.
Some things are too exact, too tender, too familiar—
to be anything but fate.
Like a puzzle piece slipping gently into place.
