Women

Women! These mysterious creatures have distracted me my entire life. But not in the sordid way. Instead it is the little things that they do that draws me to them and makes life bearable. The furtive glance, the smiling eyes or the bare, turned neck with wisps of soft hair brushing skin. The soft touch, the little-too-long eye contact, the control of our eyes by the movement of their eyes. The small banter, the emotional intimacy with these angels on earth. They make us strong by making themselves vulnerable in a million different ways. Then we make oursleves vulnerable by surrendering ourselves to their strengths. They make us want to bring them gifts, big and small. A flower, a piece of candy, a diamond, our life. Thank you God for this precious gift.
