She Knew My Soul

I had barely met this woman
When she came running toward me with a gift.
I thought of you 
I knew you had to have it she said

It was a pendant
of the most outrageous fan dancer imaginable
possibly vintage, maybe pre-flapper stage
I loved it
completely

I was in awe
that this stranger
whom I did not know
somehow knew my soul

This was very thought-inspiring... Time traveler? someone forgotten?, a guardian angel? Lovely. Ann

People seem to know me all the time - I have no idea how!

It’s so cool when things like that happen, especially since they hardly ever do! Glad you reaped the benefits…
