Maybe they were among the first words you committed to memory in a new language, tidbits of culture and wisdom passed on in story as you learned the fine art of homemade tamales or dim sum or harvesting rice.
Perhaps they don’t make any sense from your home culture perspective or maybe they shift everything into focus.
Sayings have the power to capture our imagination and open up the door to understanding. And sometimes they are just plain hilarious! What are your favorite sayings in your culture? This week we will be exploring the beauty of these words and phrases through our posts and comments, and then at The Grove. Tag us this week in your Instastory as you share a memorable saying or use the hashtag #VelvetAshesSayings.
