I wanted to celebrate her memory by practicing some Chinese in her name. This whole week, I’ve been working hard trying to find the perfect stick for her, but I realized how silly that was. G herself was never even that particular about the stick she selected. It was simply the act of finding sticks together that made her happy. The grammar of grief conjugates love in every season, and has no perfect tense. — 💬 new vocabulary • 新單字 ▫️ grief - 哀思 ▫️ social media - 社交媒體 ▫️ funeral - 葬禮 ▫️ laughter - 笑鬧 ▫️ soul - 靈魂 ▫️ stick/branch - 樹枝 — 🖼️ paintings · 畫作 ▫️ “wind from the sea” by andrew wyeth ▫️ “noah’s ark study” by andrew wyeth ## Images 1.
