"Stitches of Time" is a very healing prose work. The author Ogawa Ito, who lives in Germany, uses fresh and meaningful writing to describe the daily life in Berlin and the infinite recollection of the past.
When I reach middle age, I relearn the tedious German language; I make my own natto and Japan's unique ingredients in a foreign country; I integrate into the local life in Berlin, reduce my material desires, get close to nature wholeheartedly, and enjoy the clean and beautiful leisure time in Germany on weekends... In these proses full of warmth, there are also the author's insights on life and family affection, the helplessness of a son who wants to be filial but refuses to wait, the doomed separation in life, how to regain the hope of life in a desperate situation, and other healing insights. Every bit of life is integrated with Ogawaito's infinite love for the world.
Ogawa Ito's words allow people to shake hands and make peace with the world, gain love, gain growth, and gain the joy of being a human being through reading.
Reader comments
The second chapter is very touching and well written. We often only remember the bad things about our mother, but forget how good our mother is to us. We may often forget that she loves me, but forget that she has always loved us. But as time goes by, we don't remember much about the doting our parents did on us when we were young. But I only remember that when we were sensible, our parents were strict in our education, or their excitement hurt us. But our parents watched you grow up day by day, and knew that they were responsible for your future life by doting on you. This is to prevent your fragile heart from being hurt when you enter society in the future. It's because we still remember the generous love when we were young, but we can't accept the cautious love, but it's all the love our parents gave us
The overall feeling is very warm, giving people positive strength and courage to face life.
I hope that like the author, we can experience the beauty of life in the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea of life.
Ogawa's consistent healing style brings infinite comfort to the soul, and the plain and sincere narrative in the book is like a gurgling stream slowly flowing into the heart. Those trivial things in life are not only the acceptance and love for life, but also the wisdom of seeing life clearly. But what is particularly touching is that no matter what life gives, we should always forgive, accept and let go. Facing the joy and pain of life is the best way to reconcile with life. After reading Ogawa's words, people cherish life more and cherish every bit of beauty.
Reading it gives me the feeling of listening to a friend's story - the expression is calm and the tone is gentle, but it is by no means devoid of emotion. This should be said to be a prose essay (I don't quite understand [thinking]), and there are a few things that really resonated with me. (Exiting satisfied...)
Anyway, if you ask me to recommend a healing literature book, I will definitely recommend this author.
I will also buy this set to show to a friend of mine who I think needs it very much. Let's get on with it.
The story is heart-warming and healing. I find it interesting to write down anything with this article.
This is the second book I have read by her. There is always a touch of healing in the book. I also found my answer in the book. Perhaps after the death of a loved one, the answer we most want to know is whether you are happy in this life. But unfortunately I did not ask my mother. The funeral was very noisy, and my mother finally shed tears from the corners of her eyes. I know you are very reluctant to let me go. The author may have been reconciling with his mother in his subsequent life.
How can a person know how big the world is if he doesn't travel far? How can he see a rainbow if he doesn't experience wind and rain? May everyone gain happiness on the road of life!
Plain and unpretentious, just speaking slowly.
The text background of the whole book is extremely peaceful. The writing style is restrained and gentle, and has lost the deliberate refinement of literature. There is no sensational rhetoric, no elevated sentiments, and it just records the fragments of life in a straightforward manner: the smell of fireworks in the old streets, the company of family members, the thoughts of the past, the parting and relief in the passage of time, the joy and regret in ordinary life. The pace of the writing is slow and leisurely, not in a hurry to tell a story or to make a point, but unfolds word by word slowly, just like an old woman threading a needle and sewing clothes slowly, stitch by stitch. The rhythm is gentle and the intention is pure, which just fits the meaning of the word "stitch" in the title of the book. [Love]
The stitches of time describe the tranquility in the depths of time.
Still warm and healing! It's just not as stunning as Shancha Stationery Shop and Sparkling Life
The description of Germany in the book makes people understand the country from another perspective. This autobiographical novel still heals people's hearts.
Healing, flowers bloom not to fall, but to bloom more brilliantly
The charcoal fire formed a perfect circle, reflecting the full moon in the sky, as if it were a red full moon sticking to the ground.
Feel the warmth
I found some spare gaps in my life and could breathe.
I like Mr. Ogawa's essays very much. They are relaxing and healing, plain and simple, but they also have some content worth pondering. I like them very much! !
Many warm pictures of daily life
May everyone have enough time and energy to gaze at the beautiful sunset every day
It's super beautiful, very good, friends, please read it.
Very healing! In the fast-paced life, it allows people to slow down and enjoy a moment of quiet life
The writing is plain and true, but very charming!
This book reminds me of my childhood. Thank you to the author for the wonderful writing [Like][Like]
