Certain she was a manifestation of the divine spirit, everything was born
again in her sight, the way no child that comes from your body can ever be
anything but beautiful. She kept getting thinner, so that she seemed like
a bird, there in the kitchen in her half-robe, her skin sweatsticky in the
early morning light, every sip of her coffee visible as it descended her
throat. “The process of time forward into the future is like a mill,
grinding away imperfections and flaws, until all things become what they
truly are in intention,” she said, her teeth chattering, her rings tapping
on the coffee cup. She would stop in midsentence, not remember what she
was talking about, but when questioned she would hold up her palm, waiting
for the impending revelation. “Everything is waiting for us,” she said,
turning toward the window, making a note to herself she will soon forget
that today is Wednesday, she has to eat today, great things are about to
happen and she must always be ready.
