love listens


I hear her mother say,

Selma, love listens. . .and listening works hard to understand the words-


hmmm, that's good, and good for me now. . .remember: love listens.

sometimes I forget the hard work part; sometimes I resist. . . (and sometimes I just talk.)
And one night as I tucked her into bed . . . Gran, I'm gong to take my bed to Mexico City and when you come to visit me, you can sleep in my bed.

nice, sweet girl.

Beautiful post and picture! I love Selma's serene expression, like her heart is being counseled by wisdom. Thanks for sharing Naomi's life-giving words (which I'm planning on copying). debbie
