if you would have asked me a year ago, when that
wise old woman was going to start showing up,
i would have told you she was lost. . .
today she is starting to shine a bit, speaking her wisdom
with tenacity and grace. i only have to remind myself to slow down,
take a few deep breaths and give her time to speak her mind.
if i do this, nine times out of ten she has the ability to calm me down
and see things more clearly.
i am grateful for her; grateful that she did not
give up on me and was so patient.
i hope by next year at this time,
we are bosom buddies.
