Serotiny - Jennifer McBride - Bog

Serotiny is the third book of affirmations and photos by Jennifer McBride. From the Author's Note: "Serotiny (ser-rah'-ta-knee) is the retention of seeds until a disaster clears the way for germination and growth. Pine cones are the most well-known serotinous seed-holder-on-ers. "Like pine cones, some of us need a disaster, trauma, disappointment, or stressor in order to discover our growth potential. This book is designed to provide seeds of self-direction and affirmation, especially to those who have been through the toughest of times and yet still have hope about the future. My humble suggestion is to sit with each page for a while. Let the photos and words sink in through the busyness and noise and get to a place where they resonate with you." Based on photographs from Grand Marais, Minnesota and Maui, Hawaii, the affirmations seeks to heighten understanding of our stressors and our hopes for the future.
