She used to comment fairly regularly on my blog but hasn’t
done so for many years. I’ve mentioned her a few times, praising the way she
wrote which was quiet and succinct yet suffused with far more meaning than the
number of words would seem to allow. So why am I talking about her again?
Well, because I’ve been reading a lot of old posts recently
and I keep coming across her comments. And I’ve noticed something quite
extraordinary. Never in all my life have I experienced such a strong sense of a
person’s physical presence drifting into my consciousness from the power of their
words alone. It’s as though some misty, ethereal form manifests in the room,
smiling one of those smiles one might expect of a benevolent and truly wise
person. Quiet yet strong, non-judgemental, perceptive and intuitive.
Am I being fanciful? Possibly; life is uncomfortable at the
moment and chronic discomfort can wreak havoc with the mind’s regular
functions. But I still miss her after all these years.
