What Will That Old Crone Do

They never know what a crone like me will do
I have news for them
I never know myself
Sometimes God has me do things that make no sense
I am wondering “Where did that idea come from?”
especially when it works beautifully.
Forgetting for two seconds
that I have never ever
been in charge of me.

It would be stifling if we knew where we got the ideas we get. That's why we say they come from the Muse. I have trouble seeing you as an "old crone," Caren. Your paintings scream youth and vitality!
