You reached into her world and heart and "saw" her beauty. She reciprocated with a highly prized and hard won gift of self.<br /><br />I love looking at a person's hands and what comes out of them. They are little self portraits. It is amazing what love can be<br /> ex-pressed from one pair of busy hands, and how they can carry the heart of a person to another.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06022238488445765654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657212579203937139.post-42603201222010646672010-03-19T01:23:18.208-04:002010-03-19T01:23:18.208-04:00What an wonderful story.

I imagine that you wish you could have talked with her for a long time and found out more of her life, but her face and hands say a lot, don't they? Thank you for sharing this. The rug is also beautiful. I think that she should send such a gift as this shows your visit meant a lot to her.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10317796864224423184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657212579203937139.post-1713984653126919612010-03-18T18:17:44.680-04:002010-03-18T18:17:44.680-04:00Thanks, everyone.

When we got there, a full-out meal was waiting for us--soup, eggs, bread, dumplings, salad, and tea. We were overwhelmed and deeply touched; she had no modern conveniences to prepare this meal. No running water, no refrigeration. <br />Amazing.<br /><br />Alexis, I'm not sure how long it would have taken to make it, but you can tell by the workmanship that it was a labor of love.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934973314360291318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657212579203937139.post-49272640985335429622010-03-18T16:04:30.683-04:002010-03-18T16:04:30.683-04:00What a wonderful gift!

They are treasured experiences.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810782906601227247noreply@blogger.com
