My sisters
think I’m crazy.
But,
I’ve never forgotten the mysterious woman from my childhood who told me Paul is
the name of my one true love.
She
told me to search far and wide for him.
I
haven’t stopped looking ever since.
When
I stumble across an article about a successful American entrepreneur named Paul
who lives and works in China, I’m intrigued. When the opportunity to teach
English in China presents itself on the same day, I know it’s not a
coincidence.
It’s
destiny.
My sisters
say I’m chasing a dream.
Just
like the fireflies we tried to catch on the warm summer evenings of our youth,
the dream seems beyond my grasp. Will my quest for the elusive Paul always be just
short of fulfillment?
My sisters
tell me it’s a fool’s errand.
Until
I remind them of the day we saw the Red Bird.
The
memory silences them.
The
Red Bird Incident remains
inarguable—and proves my search for Paul is not a silly fantasy.
