You Might Also Like
This is where I would begin.
Vol. 1 Begin is a gentle way in. Each spread gives you a passage on the left and an open page on the right, with a space for the date. You read the passage, you copy it out in your own hand, and you close the book.
The passages are about time, attention and how to read, from sixteen thinkers, East and West: from Seneca and Confucius to Sei Shōnagon, Virginia Woolf and Rilke. You do not need to know anything about philosophy. Each passage stands on its own.
When you copy a sentence slowly, you read it at the pace of the person who wrote it. I hope these pages give you ten quiet minutes away from your phone, just for yourself.
A small thing that is easy to give: on its own, in a Secret Santa, or beside a journal in a cloth wrap.
It sits on your wrist through the day, and in your hair when you sit down to write.
Gwangmok is a plain Korean cotton. This one is natural cream, finished with a blue stitched edge, and cut to handkerchief size: right for a single journal, a small gift or a jar.
It softens with every wash.
