Wrinkled and old she turns to God to offer, at last, her worn-out soul. As her own past deeds fade in her mind, she is quick to judge others and is not always kind. She has found her truth but the devil and I remember her youth... and we smile. Ida |

Dear Ida, even black sheep turn into white when they grow old. It's a funny process, that when this happens, they look for black sheep to point at ... You are such a good observer and I am happy that you share your real life sketches with us. Love, Margherita |
