And she said to the woman, 'choose'. And the woman waited long: and she said 'freedom'.' And life said "thou hast well chosen.

Now the day will come when I shall bear both gifts in one hand." I heard the woman laugh in her sleep. --Olive SchreinerLorenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12156097768835940764noreply@blogger.com
