喜樂美語

核心畫面

Picture a flat surface that has been pushed together and no longer lies smooth — a shirt pulled out of a bag, paper crushed in a pocket. Skin does the same thing, from a moment's or from years of them. And a plan can too: mostly flat, with a few small ridges you still need to press out.
