It takes only an instant for death to become fact, 'a single point in a timeline'. Living now on this single point, Li turns to thinking and reasoning and searching for words that might hold a place for James. Li does what she can: including not just writing but gardening, reading Camus and Wittgenstein, learning the piano, and living thinkingly alongside death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a book for James, but it is not a book about grieving. As Li writes, 'The verb that does not die is to be. Vincent was and is and will always be Vincent. James was and is and will always be James. We were and are and will always be their parents. There is no now and then, now and later, only, now and now and now and now.'\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThings in Nature Merely Grow\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a testament to Li’s indomitable spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Collins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51632066494778,"sku":"9780008778156","price":33.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0868\/6449\/4906\/files\/221164555.jpg?v=1753317665","url":"https:\/\/titlemusicfilmbooks.com\/products\/things-in-nature-merely-grow","provider":"TITLE ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
