wisdom

Today I was at a birthday for a a woman who turned 97 years old.  Although I have never said much to her, she converses mostly in German, I love her.  Her face glows grace: wisdom, peace, happiness, sharing.  Relationships and getting together in community are the high points of life.  I could sit and eat cake and drink tea with her all day...basking in a beautiful presence.
