Black Chinese characters, written on creamy white linen paper;
Each is carefully arranged into its own square-shaped box, thus making square-shaped words.
Daddy had written this several years ago. At the time I didn't know what these words represent.
"What are these words about, Daddy?" I asked. "It's about self-discipline in one's life, my dear." Daddy answered.
"Why are there no commas or full-stops in between?" I asked again. "That's the way life should be – a continuous process of self-discipline." He answered again.
These ancient words now hanging on the wall -
Its characters, self-disciplinarily arranged; taking form into each square, forming square-shaped words.
So fragile are our lives! So strong are these strokes!
