who nurture these green creatures.\u003cbr\u003e Even if we think about the primordial Earth or the uninhabited primeval forest, plants can grow without people, but people cannot live on this Earth without plants.\u003cbr\u003e Plants are such primal companions, yet we live without feeling their altruistic presence, just like air. \u003cbr\u003eFrom a cozy terrace, a sunny window, the rooftop of a townhouse, or a garden cultivated from barren land, we hear the different stories of how plants came to be part of their lives.\u003cbr\u003e Above all, gardening is not simply a hobby or pastime, but rather it expands one's life as a subject that manages the growth of plants, designing not only a healthy future for oneself but also a life as a social activist for ecology and the environment.\u003cbr\u003e Let's meet their small yet magnificent world of plants.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some

there are times when they want to take a break and stop. \u003cbr\u003eAt that time, we need to quietly wait for that rest, and we need to know how to reduce the water and sunlight to match the speed and leave it alone.”\u003cbr\u003e ---p.19 From \"Like plants that grow at their own pace, an interview with Im Yirang\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Thankfully, when I touch and groom these little creatures, I can only think about them.\u003cbr\u003e Are they sick? Are there any unnecessary leaves? Are they getting enough water? Do they need more nutrients? As I touch and look at these plants in need of care, I find myself hearing them speak to me.\u003cbr\u003e 'It's okay.\u003cbr\u003e It'll be okay.\u003cbr\u003e Just like us.'\u003cbr\u003e ---p.31 From “The Green Leaves That Were Always by My Side, by Kim Soo-kyung”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From then on, I wanted to live like them.\u003cbr\u003e I wanted to protect myself by touching the soil at least once a day, working the way I wanted, and earning just that amount of money, rather than living a life where home and work were everything. \u003cbr\u003eI wanted to share my emotions with the people around me with my whole body, like those who show affection by placing both hands on each other's faces.\u003cbr\u003e Like a fermented fruit whose sourness and sweetness fade over time, sometimes I wanted to let go of my existence and just ripen among people.\u003cbr\u003e ---p.46 From \"Plants Cannot Live Alone, Iarom\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Campbell advises:\u003cbr\u003e “No matter what happens, just say, ‘This is what I want!’\u003cbr\u003e Even if things seem like a mess, let's approach them as opportunities and challenges.\u003cbr\u003e If you love the moment without being discouraged, you will gain strength.\u003cbr\u003e “No matter what disaster may come, once you overcome it, your character, status, and life will leap forward.”\u003cbr\u003e ---p.57 From \"Follow Your Own Joy, Antonia Case\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Why do I act as if time will last forever? Let's think about this carefully. \u003cbr\u003eThen you will agree with the words of the sage in the Mahabharata, a great Sanskrit epic of 200,000 lines:\u003cbr\u003e He said, “Hundreds and thousands of people face death every moment.\u003cbr\u003e But he said, “Foolishly, people do not think that death will come to them and do not prepare for it,” which is very surprising.\u003cbr\u003e The Stoic philosopher Seneca expressed a similar view in his book, On the Brevity of Life, in which he criticized the Romans for acting as if time were eternal, even though they knew it was not.\u003cbr\u003e ---p.72 From \"Tick tock, time still passes, Oliver Burkman\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Adventure is precisely where we are either underprepared or at our limit.\u003cbr\u003e We know we are taking a risk when we plunge into uncertainty or find ourselves caught up in situations beyond our control. \u003cbr\u003eAdventures make you anxious, scared, and doubt whether you'll ever be able to return home.\u003cbr\u003e Most people eventually return to where they started, but they are likely to return as changed people.\u003cbr\u003e Wrestling with the unknown changes us.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---p.112 From \"Become a person who starts with a capital A, Flora Michaels\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublisher's Review\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003ePlants growing at their own pace\u003cbr\u003e : Musician Im Yirang talks about 'balanced plant love'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There are countless people who love plants and care for them with all their heart. \u003cbr\u003eHowever, there is a person who is a musician who plays the bass guitar in a band and writes songs, who has created a room and a terrace just for plants, who keeps plant lights and fans on 365 days a year just for the plants' growth conditions, who hosts a podcast specializing in plants, and who has written two books of plant essays. That person is Lim Yirang, a member of the band 『Dear Cloud』.\u003cbr\u003e At first, I liked plants because of their visual and aesthetic appeal, but one day, in the midst of a slump where I was hitting a dead end, I started to seriously suffer from plants because of the silent comfort they gave me, no one else but plants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Im Yirang's attitude towards plants can be summed up in one word: 'love that is balanced and not biased.'\u003cbr\u003e When bringing a plant into your home, it is a given that you should do your best to understand the characteristics of the plant by researching related materials and observing it regularly. \u003cbr\u003eBut I try not to feel too guilty about the plants that are soon withering and ending their lives.\u003cbr\u003e Just as there is a saying among the advice given to beginners, \"Water for three years,\" Im Irang tells those who seek gardening advice, \"You have to kill a lot.\"\u003cbr\u003e In the past, whenever I let go of a plant, I would feel guilty and wonder, \"What did I do wrong?\" But now, just as annual plants live a good year and then leave, I can let the plant go without any regrets, thinking that its life ended there.\u003cbr\u003e The experience gained and the results of studying each growth characteristic will accumulate in the mind of the plant caregiver.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When asked again why he takes such great care of his plants, he answers without hesitation. \u003cbr\u003e“I want to see the potential of plants.” I look forward to seeing how much they can grow under optimal conditions, but I am also moved by the ‘potential for vitality’ that cannot be measured when I witness a plant that I thought was almost dead struggle through the middle of winter and sprout new shoots in spring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThree Ways Plants Can Save People\u003cbr\u003e : Gardening Essays by Kim Soo-kyung, Bae Bo-ram, and Lee A-rom\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Is there any ordeal more difficult to overcome than the despair of losing everything you hold most dear at once?\u003cbr\u003e Kim Soo-kyung, a horticultural therapist and botanical artist, went through a painful experience of losing precious people one after another, and went through a time when all moments were at a standstill to the point where she was unable to continue her daily life. \u003cbr\u003eIt was a time of stagnation when it was difficult to even get up and do simple things, but one day, he says he was shocked as if he had been hit by a whirlwind when he saw plants withering under the owner's caresses all over the house.\u003cbr\u003e Only then did I realize.\u003cbr\u003e It is said that the pain and despair are gradually washed away from the small actions of watering the flower pot again and removing the withered leaves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bae Bo-ram's witty rooftop garden story makes us realize once again the gift of 'joy' that plants give to people.\u003cbr\u003e A scene unfolds where neighbors share the care of plants, but the awkward situation unfolds where this sharing inadvertently causes unwanted damage, making the reader laugh as if watching a sitcom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCommunity gardener Ia-rom Lee, seeking to break away from the commercial farming ecosystem and preserve environmental values, transformed a once-barren, waste-filled garden into a terraced communal garden.\u003cbr\u003e Her love of gardening extends beyond the realm of a personal hobby and into the public sphere, fulfilling both a social obligation and a personal sense of mission.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e“Follow your bliss” Pursue your own bliss\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The story that the international writers of 『Womankind』 have focused on in this issue is 'Follow your bliss,' that is, the story of those who seek their own happiness, or the joy they truly desire.\u003cbr\u003e This is the story of those who calmly choose and pursue the path they truly desire and where they can feel happiness and joy, rather than the life of success and comfort that everyone recognizes and considers the safe path. \u003cbr\u003eMythologist Joseph Campbell encourages us to heed the call to our own adventure.\u003cbr\u003e Only you know where you find joy and how you must live to feel alive in this moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Some people, instead of pursuing a career as a professional painter, fill the interior of an old castle with paintings of flowers and plants. Others wear traditional clothing as everyday wear in downtown Wellington, New Zealand. Others, instead of remaining in a stable job, take on new challenges by changing careers according to the cycle of their lives.\u003cbr\u003e A mother who frequently visits the beach with her children to forget the pain of the pandemic, and a musician who describes the ecstasy of making sounds of joy with tears in his eyes, are also protagonists of this topic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Everyone wants to live the way they want, but in reality, living the way you want requires courage more than anything else. \u003cbr\u003eThe courage to ignore external influences that give unspoken commands like, \"You must do this,\" and the courage to regain the childlike innocence of intuitively trying to get what you want.\u003cbr\u003e If our lives are to be lived in an unknown world, we must know that we must begin and end our own adventures, as Campbell said, \"Freedom is followed by decisions, and every decision determines destiny.\" \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 1, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180 pages | 180*245*20mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9772586258007\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25862588 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43893681324074,"sku":"133217","price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/6b764d08e87932ab6ba617cbdd67e2df.jpg?v=1765411490","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/133217","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
