I Found Serenity in Her
Friday, September 08, 2006
the phone line was down yesterday. well, that was what we thought, when actually it's the phone acting crazy. anyhoo, last nite i had some serious case of 'terlebih makan sampai perut tegang'.. or is it because of the increasing speed in eating as exhibited in the past few days during 'sesi minum pagi'?
whatever. thank god for eno halia. a half glass of it, and i break wind for the rest of the nite. legaaaaa rasanya.
yesterday had a very interesting counselling session with a colleague whom i would address as Cik L. She's an all-black-purdah clad lady, but with a very caring soul, kind face and a wicked, wittiest sense of humour i've ever seen. she's similar to an ex-roomate of mine back during my 1st yr in UM. the purdah wasn't oppressive. she would lift the veil covering her face when she's in the office. oh. and with her black-rimmed spectacles, she even looked kinda ranggi and cool. impossible combination isn't it? and she's 46.
i was assigned to her, to learn some technical procedures in journal/series acquisitions in the library. with her being so kecoh most of the time, the lesson turned out to be more entertaining that i thought it would. oh, don't worry.. what needs to be learn is learnt. and i got more than what i initially bargained for.
i would say that the conversation i had with her, is a muhasabah session for me.
all these while, i've been surrounded with these kind of people, with caring souls, soft approach in giving dakwah, a good combination to my sometimes hard headed/heart. who have love for the religion, without being political. the people who always being generous with their smiles and advices without being judgemental and pushy. without 'i am holier than thou' persona, i am drawn to them, attracted to the serenity shown in their faces and spirit.
they are not affected by people around them, which seems to be engrossed with the rat race, climbing ladders, making money.. but somehow they're truly happy. wealthy not with materials, but with knowledge and wisdom. generous, again not of materials, but advices and loves. but they live comfortably.. and more content than those who have all...
i always look forward to see her smile each day i come for work.
