We spent the time talking about her Mom, and relationships at home.
The moment she arrives, she makes a point of telling me she has just had ablative surgery on the heart, a cather with an expanding balloon had been put into one of her ventricles through her arm, The proceedure turned out to be a disaster. The balloon broke inside her, and the nurse poorly located the catheter to begin with.
J___ X___ has an angel watching over her.
There is no way she could have survived so many medical emergencies and yet remain unscathed. We spent some time talking about this, how the closeness of death has a depressing effect on one's life, even though it has been avoided, by all of us who are alive. Death always present, seems to haunt some people more than others.
This makes this little girl of twenty two years seem much older . Her spirit is as ancient as that of the Delphi. She speaks in simple phrases, with a uniform kind of unworldly energy, as if she were cutting loose small ropes of gold.
She pauses two beats before answering any question. She wears a gold thong.
She talks about crisis with great wisdom, and about things that are light and humorous with a older person's calm.
Her father is a Columbian shaman.
When she leaves she shakes my hand, very politely, and goes.
She has impeccable manners.
Go with grace Child. Be well!
