The living library of knowledge
In English we typically ‘it’ and ‘which’ and ‘that’ the living world, and you would say ‘the river that flows’ or ‘the river which flows’, but I have tended to speak of ‘the river who flows’. It is just a way of recognizing the otherness of the subjects with whom we share our world, not the objects we dominate in our world.
