酷我-北美枫

[anna]

Thursday night (June 3) will be an exciting night since the 2010 Marty Awards’ winners will be announced. I have four tickets. I invited my good friend and also my English teacher Terry to join me. Today, I called him to ask him come early and stay at my house for supper. Then we all go to the Gala together. I mentioned I may need to do my hair. He laughed, “Anna, you need not worry about your image. You need not to be a dragon lady to be there. What stands out for you is your work, your poetry.” I replied, “I want to be neat in front of them. It is a formal event.” He said, “As far as I know, you always look neat. So don’t worry. Remember I said you looked like Neighbor-girl in your first chap-book cover, and the name card you put your photo on which looked dragon lady. Both are good. And now you are between. So you need no more fancy.” I laughed, “Ok, then I will save the money.”
Indeed, I seldom do my hair. I always keep it simple and straight. So what I need is to wash it, then my hair seems ok. For ten years in Canada, I only did three times. When my hair needs to cut, I call my friend who is a hairdresser and go to her house to cut for 15$. This way I save time and no trouble to make decision on what kind of style I need. Simply, no style. Anyway, so far so good.
Of course, I like to be Dragon Lady: elegant and pretty. But most time I am the Neighbor-girl: a casual and natural self. But I must confess I do want to be beautiful and lovely.
At the bar, I chatted with my colleagues. One said something in me lit up. He was not sure what exactly it was. I knew what he meant. I knew what it was. I talked with a girl friend in Regina who was single and hoped to find someone in her life. I said, “When you find something special and meaningful to you, try to enjoy and go for it, don’t worry. Your door will be open.” I know what opens my door. I know the world is beyond and make my life worthy and happy.

So finally I want to quote Rumi's saying:
RUMI (Jalal ad-Din Rumi)

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
