RSSAt Waterlily’s yard sale:
“A free spirit?” the woman asked helpfully, as I tried to explain why she needn’t worry about Waterlily, who was selling her belongings (well, mostly giving them away), and flying away to literally live ON the beach on Kauai.
“Waterlily”, I explained to the woman, “is in better off than anyone I know. She’s unnerving to you in the way that St. Francis was to those in his neighborhood. But St. Francis didn’t need their help. Quite the contrary, we’re still looking to him. Waterlily is like that….”
And I have a standing invitation to join her on the beach!
Well, that might explain why I haven’t seen Waterlily in a while. We used to bump into each other, from time to time, out here at North Beach. She was often looking out to sea, almost as if she was seeing herself somewhere else.
I can so completely see her on the beach on Kauai…
