Confronting your own mortality makes one reflect what really matters. I have had the unique opportunity in the past due to medical reasons and thankfully made it back with much gratitude. This time, the surgeries were literally about 're-vision'.
My younger self was like a mirror, it reflected the worst of what people instilled in me. The benefit of aging(WISDOM?) is manifested in the form of an emotion filtration system, repolymerizing negativity into rejuvenation. My ECOF(still sounds like swearing?) is the weekend homemade dim sum. The more stressful work is Monday to Friday, the more daunting culinary tasks I take on during the weekend.
While MarieKondo-ing my home office over the holidays, I discovered a box of letters, notes and postcards from the past. Many dated all the way back to my academic years and gratefully the fellowship remains until this day. A letter from Professor S resurfaced just in time, a window to her soul inspiring our 'LITTLE' book league. Am I really that brilliant as in Professor S' praises? Don't be silly.
In my youthful years, strangers(little kids) used to point at me and called me Mulan enthusiastically while their parents panicked and apologized. Nothing to offer apologies for… I am honored to be seen as a warrior. That positive sentiment no longer holds its ground thanks to the latest Disney rendition. Mulan 2020 was an unfortunate mix of cultural stigma and lazy storytelling.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… wrapping up gifts for my team. The devil is in the peppermint red and white swirl twine!
