Wellington the penguin loves where he lives-it's cold, snowy, and full of snowflakes that sparkle. After seeing a picture of a beautiful flower garden in a book, Wellington decides that he wants to grow a garden, too. "Flowers can't grow in the snow," says his friend Ivan. "It's just too cold!" But Wellington is set on having a garden-and with a lot of determination and a bit of creativity; he finds a way to make his dream come true.
Those lines are comprised of the untouched words from a pure soul. No interruption. This is a window where I open up my heart and deep mind, giving my readers the access to my philosophy and see the wings of the soul, incorporated with complex sentiment and unique ways of expression construction. If the mental world is a matrix architecture, the core is the degree of sensing, with hundreds of thousands moments created when a pure soul is being tortured from inside out, as the firm foundation. Yet you hear no endless sobbing, nor see countless tear, but purely beauties. That is, your soul remains at its original dwell. All shifts you observed are just relative, never absolute. If you define that time does changed you, that is, how you are trying to manipulate your soul, distort it, for the pursuit of a different way to reside your mind, and your body. Stay, with yourself, with your beautiful soul, with what your soul directs and desires. Here I want to share with you about how my soul flies out of me and grants me the chance to embrace all possible beauties I can ever harvest along my journey.
Once upon a time it began to snow in the Night Garden. Join Igglepiggle and his friends for a Christmas adventure in this beautifully illustrated board book for toddlers.
This book describes everyday practices of life in changing Arctic winter conditions. The authors explore the contemporary and situated outdoor practices in different work settings in Finnish Lapland and investigate how, for example, tourism, reindeer herding, cattle breeding and urban snow management adapt to the physically limiting or enabling features of cold temperatures, snow and ice. The book also highlights individual and societal adjustments to such harsh conditions and their seasonal changes in mobility, including winter cycling, use of snow mobiles and walking with studded shoes. The impact of a warming climate is a great concern for those utilising the enabling qualities of winter weather. The need, then, for continuous adaptation in everyday practices of work and mobility will increase in the future.
