original pencil: gift of your life

I still remember one of the last times I saw her. Come sit, she said, & tell me how you hold the gift of your life now & for a long time, we looked out over the fields while I thought about that & finally, I turned to her. It's hard to say any more where I begin & everything else ends, I said & she nodded. That sounds like a very good life, she said. & we talked quietly after that for a long while.
