Sisters
Who really cares. Who will actually shed a tear. When misfortune, or miss steps, sometimes haunt our day. And their intervention, not possible, they are too far away. Sisters are the ones, on the top of my very short list. They are equipped with the skills at birth, that make them a combination of teachers, protectors, parents, and students of the unknown. They become focused outward to prevent our fall, sometimes sacrificing their own emotional well-being,having to catch themselves before a stall. So what can we do to balance the scale, when such a sister, faces hardship and trepidation. After all, they are so used to giving support, not accepting support in kind. The answer is become someone who really cares, demonstrating you value her peace of mind.Until such time she once again focuses outward, her knowing gaze, once again becoming a visible and available light, thru our self imposed haze. Wisdom from sisters is free, just the words recognizing such, come from me.
