This one is for you
She opens her box of beads and strings. Each string a different color and length. Each bead a different color, shape and size.
She picks a string. Then, she carefully picks and chooses her beads.
She slips the chosen beads through the string. One bead follows another – in rhythmic sequence.
Until she has a perfect string of beads.
Then, she ties the two ends of the string together to make a bracelet.
She slips the bracelet on a little girl’s hand.
And says to her, ‘This one is for you.’
I dedicate this to every strong and beautiful woman that was kind and generous enough to express her admiration for the strings of words I share with all of you each day.
I like this. Especially te symbolism of placing it onto the little girls hand which I read in two ways; firstly passing the process on to the next generation and secondly it could be taken that the little girl is still within each of us.
Love it.
Beautiful. Simple as.
Thank you.
You’re welcome Leila.
