I'm sitting on my bed, watching the slow saunter of a horse and rider go by, listening to Kathleen Public Radio, KPR Holiday Edition 2004. Kathleen continues to surprise and amaze me.
Last night I was reminded, as I often am, of the astonishing beauty and energy that emanates from her. She has this incredible shine and sparkle that can't be overlooked. I remember hearing all of these wonderful things about Kathleen, before I had met her, and then being floored by her unique grace and style. Later, there was the shy confession to a friend of being in love with Kathleen, to which he responded, "get in line, we all are." So true, everyone seems to be in appreciative awe of her, I wonder if she is aware of it.
As people have moved in and out of our circles of friends, I've softly pointed to Kathleen as the most amazing of them all. She is the defining elegance of the burning spirit as I've come to know it.
