5ft11in
not much more than 100lbs
approaches
me
She asks
AREyoujewish
and then speaks
to me in hebrew
before i can say
no i am not jewish by faith
only blood
perhaps
but then she
says
i love your necklace
and i say
tHank=yOu
She asks
ARE YOU MARRIED?
She tells me
about
dI VORCE
&
SADNESS
and how her faith is blood
without the heart
and how she cannot eat
i speak with her
about protein shakes&
my faith and how I am wearing
hanukuh candles, a star of david and a fish
because
i am Christian
she leaves
but later returns
because....
she has lost
a ring
most precious to her mother
she is distraught
and i am praying
more for her than for the ring
for the ring is only a symbol
of all the other things she has lost
i pray
and i help her look for the ring
and i tell her
you are more precious than the ring
and your mother would be more upset if something happened to you
she hugs me and again praises my necklace
i put it around her neck
praying that it goes around her heart also
