Her...

My run was wonderful. Almost 5 miles. It made me think about her. I haven't in awhile. She could make you feel like you were the only one in a room and that what you were saying was the most important thing in the entire world. I feel I run slower than others, my hubby says it is because of my little munchkin legs, but she told me once I only needed to keep pace with myself. She gave me permission really. Her words flew across my mind and reached me through my loud music, beating of my racing heart and my little feet pounding the treadmill. It came like a wave... thoughts linked with memories. I remember she also told me for everything there is a season. She looked me in the eyes as if she new... within 1 year was the first surgery followed closely by the second, that made things so permanent. She was a healer who's medicine was words. She was magic. I think I will spend some time outside today and see if I can catch her scent in the earth....
