"Loved ones leave and take our old names with them... He took her with him. When we go, we will do the same to someone else. "

Just beautiful. That will stay with me for quite a while. Today, I baked a Julekage in honor of my grandmother on her birthday. A great Scandinavian Sagittarius woman full of grit, comfort and twinkle. The house smelled of her through the oven door and for a moment I could almost see her face. Thank you for such a beautiful piece.

And thank you for your story. Your grandmother sounds like a force of nature, and the wonder abides in her alchemy.

Deep down by the well, we lower the bucket, draw it up again. And again. The bucket might be empty, might hold water, might hold reflections of daylight, or moonlight, or just our faces, or anything. You and I, all of us. Thank you, Simone.

I love your style of writing. I learn from you. And adding poetry and art makes the narrative spiritual, mystical. Thank you.
