Quite simply, she’s the coolest woman I’ve ever known. Warts and all. Now for some details.
- She’s an idealist while having no tolerance for b.s.
- Witty, even caustic, but never cruel. The truth, however, can sting.
- Much smarter than me, and better read, though knowing everything can be a problem. In other words, she remembers everything, especially what I’ve done wrong.
- I love watching her, the way she moves, the twinkle in her eye, the perplexed twist of her lips while solving a problem. Oh, yes, and her long, long hair.
- Has an artsy, natural style that leans toward earth-tones, folk sources, and simplicity.
- She’s frugal but generous.
- Has never been remunerated in just compensation to her societal contributions. If she were, we’d be living in high style.
- Is one of the world’s great cooks. And that extends to the garden, though she rarely has time for the weeding. The problem is, neither do I.
- Is gifted in spades with empathy. Only she can’t understand why the rest of us can be so lacking in it.
- Should have been an astronaut.
