Work Introduction
二十有九，仍感謝妳那年不知哪來的勇氣，獨個跑到言語不通的小鎮，把部份的自己種在山丘裏，並長出根來，讓妳在異國有個可以回去的家。四日三夜說是旅行卻更像修行，當時所有的徬徨不安現在都成了一種鄉愁。
前幾天讀到這句:「我見青山多嫵媚，料青山見我應如是。」 致那年二十二歲的自己。
“I have become 29. I still appreciate your traceless courage, to have run into an out-of-language mountain town and grown a part of yourself into the hills with scattered roots, so you could have a place to return to when you’re out in the foreign landscape. The 4-day journey was like a pursuit and practice, all of the restlessness and perplexity has now become a form of longing and homesickness. I was reading a line a couple of days back, “I see the enchantment of the green hills and the hills see the same in me”.
Regards sent to my 22-year-old self.
