Memory story · made up to help you remember
“Deep in the canyon! Imagine the cool, shaded space between two high mountain peaks where a stream flows quietly along. This radical represents the low points of the landscape where everything eventually gathers. When you see it, think of wide open spaces, deep ravines, and the sense of something "hollow" or reaching deep into the earth.”
