Anchor / 錨

夏卡爾展期間，好些同事見到我紛紛說，夏卡爾讓他們想起我，的確，我的外在既踏實又穩重，內心卻雙腳離地，但大部分時候都還能找到某種平衡。

During Chagall’s exhibition, some colleagues coincidentally told me that he reminded them of me. Indeed, I am down-to-earth and poised on the outside while inside, I hardly have my feet glued to the ground though I manage to strike a balance between the two extremes most of the time.

四月搬家之後，花了一些時間適應新家和新社區的環境，如同去到旅館，我第一個找的便是書桌，新書桌不大，不過很快就被我貼得花花綠綠，(其實最終目的是為了隱藏濺到白牆上的墨汁)，這是讓我能自由飛翔後，再度安穩回到地面的秘密。最近邊畫畫聽了想了好多種人生的滋味，有失戀的心情，想追回舊愛的心情，被弟弟的胡言亂語逗樂的心情，和宥媽分享生活的心情，等等等等，有一天再度搬離，我希望自己不要忘記這些美麗的回憶。

After I moved in April, it took me some time to get accustomed to the new apartment and new neighborhood. Like going to a hotel, the first thing I look for is always the desk. My current desk isn’t large, but now it has been transformed into a colorful space by me, for the hidden purpose of trying to cover the ink stains I accidentally splashed onto the walls. This is my sanctuary, where I can land safe and sound after my countless imaginary flights into kingdoms that others don’t know exist. And lately I’ve been collecting so many stories during phone talks while drawing at the desk. There are tales of lost love, desperate love, family love, and so on and on and on. I hope I won’t forget the calm and satisfaction I feel here when I move away one day.

下半年要展開了，想到還有兩個多月可以坐在新書桌前工作，不禁感到慶幸，我也希望秋天在倫敦，有這樣一張書桌等著我。

The second part of the year is about to unfold. Simple happiness wells up in my heart when I hit upon the thought that the desk will accompany me for another two months. Moreover, I hope there will be another desk waiting for me in autumn in London.
