Notes

Ladies of Grace, and Ladies of Favour,
And Ladies of Merciful Night,
This is a prayer for a Blueberry Girl,
Grant her your Clearness of Sight.

Words can be worrisome, people complex;
Motives and manners unclear.
Grant her the wisdom to choose her path right,
Free from unkindness and fear.
--Blueberry Girl, Neil Gaiman

A retirement shawl for one of the wisest women I know. A part of my heart will travel to Mexico with her.
