surface of emotions.\u003cbr\u003e The author conjures up forgotten memories through objects and examines the rhythm and weight of a human life.\u003cbr\u003e At the heart of this book is the author's meticulous observations that nonchalantly reveal layers of emotion.\u003cbr\u003e In the first essay, “Red Jade,” the author talks about the process by which memories related to apples are recalled every time autumn begins.\u003cbr\u003e Just one bite of sourness melts into the fears, excitement, and anxiety of childhood before exams.\u003cbr\u003e Apples in those days were not just simple fruits, but seasonal comforts that made us forget our fears for a moment. \u003cbr\u003eThe following \"Fan Heart\" shows the reckless and pure passion of a teenager in the 1980s.\u003cbr\u003e The adventure of heading to Gwangju to see Shin Hae-chul and Muhan Orbit perform shows how passion can soothe the anxieties of youth.\u003cbr\u003e In \"Pure Love,\" the yoga mat \"Manduka\" is used as a medium to depict memories and self-confidence contained in trivial objects.\u003cbr\u003e The reason I can't throw away the sweat-stained mat is because the time I once \"immersed myself to the point of feeling unfamiliar\" remains intact on it.\u003cbr\u003e Also, in the \"Transcription\" section, the essence of the act of living by reading and engraving slowly is shown through the husband's figure copying sentences by hand.\u003cbr\u003e The author says that only by copying letters does he “feel like he is engraving each and every sentence into his body.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this book, personal memories expand into layers of social landscape and emotions. \u003cbr\u003eIn works like “Apartment” and “Coal Briquettes,” the formation of the middle class and the family’s survival in the 1980s are intertwined.\u003cbr\u003e The old wallpaper of Mugunghwa Apartments, the smell of coal briquettes, and the milky smell of Gomguk go beyond the daily life of a single family and spread to the history of modern Korean housing culture and generational experiences.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, \"Immersion\" captures people who still read books and knit even in the attention-deficit era of the smartphone, and asks again about the ethics of concentration and the aesthetics of slowness.\u003cbr\u003e All these scenes remind us of the lost sense of immersion and concentration.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRediscovering myself in the sediments of time\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book begins with an attitude of looking at the residue of everyday life.\u003cbr\u003e The moments we thought were passing by are not actually gone, but are gradually deposited into our lives in invisible layers. \u003cbr\u003eThis book quietly shows how the texture of the time we have lived through shapes our present emotions and thoughts, tracing each layer one by one.\u003cbr\u003e What's important here is how we look back on the past.\u003cbr\u003e In the author's writing, rather than the narrative of a specific event or character, very small details, nuances, and emotional fluctuations slowly emerge from the sentences.\u003cbr\u003e The purpose of reminiscence is not to embellish memories or neatly organize a period of time.\u003cbr\u003e It's more like quietly observing how life has unfolded over time.\u003cbr\u003e These narratives distance themselves from any attempt to explain or organize life.\u003cbr\u003e Instead, I respect the speed at which memories emerge on their own and try to avoid damaging the subtle traces left behind by my mind at that time.\u003cbr\u003e So in this book, the past is not a complete story, but exists as a sense that is still loosely connected to the present. \u003cbr\u003eThe phrase \"collecting grains of sand\" means giving space to moments that seem like they will soon disappear, and waiting for those moments to create meaning in life again.\u003cbr\u003e \"Time to Collect Grains of Sand\" contains a quiet desire to re-evaluate the time that has already passed, and shows that life is not made up of grand stories, but of small moments. \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
