My Dearest Friends,
Today is the 4th Anniversary of my little cottage.
Time flies, at a speed one seldom identifies.
Thank GOD! & Thank YOU!
Today I suddenly want to write something to you
(or more accurately, to myself too).
I have been experiencing too much here,
much more than I can imagine,
much more than I deserved to.....
It seems to me that my life has been melting,
reconfiguring & consolidating with all experiences
from different environments throughout years.
Thanks for being my friends originated here the cottage,
enriching my life though I can't do much for you in return.
Your physical, spiritual,
hide-in-silent supports means a lot to me.
It's funny to me that we only met in the cottage/bookfair,
a "trading corner" in the world,
how comes we develop to this stage?
Sometimes I enquire myself:
What makes this little cottage so fruitful?
I can't deny that it's not the books here,
though I once wanna be.
The answer inside my heart tells, that's LOVE,
overwhelming the so-called success, rights....
I can taste your love,
consideration and recognition here, deeply.
That's so precious, so wonderful and so unimaginable.
Really thanks! Special thanks to Venus, Milly, Pui, Canning, Laiwan, Kevin, Jacqualine, Rita, Stephenie, Mei Mei, Stella, Queenie, Memory, Alice, Yuen Man, Joanne, Vivian, Thomas, Tommy, Stephen, Melani....
Thanks to my family, for never claiming against my
"unsuccessful business". And even sometimes being my volunteer, graphic designer or "courier".
That's another form of recognition.
I know that many of you I mention here won't read this letter.
But I still would like to write it down,
just because I want to keep it...
in my mind... in my life... there are so many angels!
Love,
Hilda
