This rule of nature is responsible for creating pleasant, comfortable landscapes. And it applies to us humans, too. Nature says it\u2019s okay for us to live in the place we love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I came to this conclusion when I started observing landscapes via the weeds and studying the various environments in which each weed thrives. Occasionally there is an oddball, a plant that prefers the shade but lives in the sun regardless of its blushing leaves. But as I watch it striving to bloom, I imagine it <em>wanted<\/em> to live in the sun. Why? Because it hit me. Weeds and other forms of life that are believed to be strong are not really strong at all. They are simply living where they prefer. The grass growing in the dry desert may look strong, but it just doesn\u2019t know how to live by the water. Every plant knows where and how it wants to live. To our human eyes, that sheer respect for life appears strong and tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2380-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2380-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2380-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2380-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2380.jpg 1102w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our own vitality comes from the same place. If we live under someone\u2019s thumb or in a place we hate, we become weakly and prone to disease. If you ever feel sapped of energy, try asking yourself if you have a job that you love and are happy with the place you live. And if it seems impossible to do what you love, try spending some time with plants that are living according to the rule of nature. Harvest and eat them, and they will give you a share of their power. In a word, be sure you\u2019re feeling the comfort of living by nature every day. Remember that we, too, are forms of life that are part of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2140-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2140-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2140-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2140-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2140.jpg 1102w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One plant with amazing vitality is the ramie growing on roadsides and in vacant lots. It takes root in no time and spreads its leaves no matter how vigorously you pull them. The wonderful ramie has fibers that can be used to manufacture paper. I also like the dense hairs growing on the underside of the leaves. The hairs catch on fabric, so I used to position two leaves on the back of my shirt like an angel\u2019s wings. The plant is found everywhere and yet it\u2019s inconspicuous and good at getting a secret smile out of all passersby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a trip to South Korea to observe the country\u2019s weeds, I discovered a store selling ramie rice cakes, or <em>songpyeon<\/em>. That inspired me to add chopped ramie to potato croquette and jiaozi dumplings. One time, when I tried boiling ramie to remove the harshness, I boiled it for so long that the leaves melted away. Ramie contains water-soluble dietary fibers. My heart sank because I couldn\u2019t use it in my fried dish. But then a good idea came to me. I churned the liquid in the food processor to make a puree, added some salt, and tasted my creation. Yum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"last\">My new bright green soup has become a hit for helping to restore physical strength. A healthy body lightens up your mood and gives you the strength to take the first steps in a pleasant, comfortable direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2205-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2205-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2205-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2205-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2205-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/OH1_2205-1-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u25a0Grass on the Plate Recipe 02<\/strong><br><strong>Ramie soup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ramie, Natural salt, Olive oil, Water<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Gather ramie leaves. A good rule of thumb is one big handful per serving. Choose the soft leaves only, and not the stems. The more the leaves, the better the soup will taste.<br>2. Bring water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of natural salt. Add the ramie leaves and boil for about 5 minutes to remove the harshness. Remove from heat when the leaves are tender, but do not wait until they are about to melt.<br>3. Transfer the ramie to a bowl of water. Leave immersed under trickling water for 15\u201320 minutes, and then strain.<br>4. Put the ramie in the food processor, add enough water to just cover the leaves, and puree.<br>5. Transfer to a pot to heat, flavor with salt, dilute with water, and adjust the thickness.<br>6. Pour in a soup dish and add a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with black pepper.<br><br>* If the leaves have stiff hairs that catch in the throat, add stir-fried vegetables and mushrooms to the soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>\u25a0Plants Index<br>Weeds in this story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/grass04-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/grass04-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/grass04-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/grass04-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/grass04-1536x1032.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/grass04.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Ramie (<em>Boehmeria nivea<\/em>)<br><br>Ramie grows 1.0\u20131.5 meters tall with leaves 10\u201315 centimeters long.
