정원이 있는 것을 발견했습니다.
leftover patches of linoleum
들어내신 낡은 리놀륨 타일 뒤에
my mother was having removed.
when the garden caught my attention.
저는 정원에 시선을 빼앗겼습니다.
of embroidered roses
뗄 수 없었습니다.
a sense of joy and adventure.
희한한 감정이 생겼습니다.
a feeling to go forward
그것에 대해 아무것도 모르면서도
마음이었습니다.
started at that exact moment.
바로 그 순간 시작되었습니다.
I ran so fast through the house,
어머니의 목소리 보다도 빨리
and my grey plaid wool hat
회색 격자무늬 울 모자를 걸치고
on a fresh carpet of grass.
and flipped three more cartwheels
옆 구르기를 하곤 했습니다.
of bittersweet lemonade
with sprigs of mint
넣어주시곤 했습니다.
and textures of her garden.
질감을 요리에 활용하셨습니다.
굽곤 하셨습니다.
have healed all the way from her halo
어머니의 후광으로부터
줄곧 회복되는 것 같았습니다.
우리가 나눈 마지막 대화에서
anywhere in the world
만들어 주는 것이 있다면
그녀의 정원을
throughout the world,
parks and courtyards,
정원에 늘어서 있고
in blighted lots off the street.
변두리의 황폐해진 지역에 있기도 합니다.
at Stilwerk Design Center,
저의 정원을 보셨을 겁니다.
hydrangea and lemon balm
to all six floors.
늘어서 있는 곳이죠.
"철학자의 정원"을 가꿨습니다.
Frederick Douglass High School
고등학교에 있습니다.
fed an entire community
지역 사회를 만족시켰고
during the Great Depression.
서훈을 받기도 했습니다.
at Court Square Park --
저는 코트 스퀘어 공원에
엄청나게 향긋한 장미 화초들과
of deliciously fragrant floribunda
정원으로 만들었습니다.
that planting and growing a garden
과정이라는 것을 가르쳐줬습니다.
begins in the spring,
고르고 새롭게 시작하는
the dead leaves,
치워야 하는 시간입니다.
and the proper nutrients
on the surface.
하는 것이 중요합니다.
beautiful blooms in life
수 없을 것입니다.
of living a life of grace.
얻을 수 있습니다.
that another tree is sick,
나무가 아프다는 것을 알게 되면
of their nutrients to that tree
about what will happen to them
생길지는 생각지 않고
약해지지도 않습니다.
to other trees that need it the most.
다른 나무에 모든 영양분을 보내줍니다.
we are all connected by our roots
뿌리로 이어져 있습니다.
that we can honestly grow.
제대로 자라날 수 있습니다.
in the garden of hardship.
into a chrysalis,
the confines of the cocoon,
can't strengthen its wings.
without ever taking flight.
못한 채 죽을 것입니다.
human connectivity into the garden.
통합시켜 보여주는 것입니다.
for this transformation.
마법과도 같은 지혜로 가득 찬 공간입니다.
waiting to be born.
창조적 에너지입니다.
into our waking lives.
all you've been given.
living deep inside of you.
숨 쉬는 하나의 세계입니다.
