The grandmother, spinner of fate, Frigga

Spinster in a Forest
You make me happy

"As a child, I had a dream to be like her.
Old and seasoned.
Generous, yet tough as nails.
Well-loved and sought,
Yet alone.

Industrious, unbelievable, persistent, capable,
Unstoppable.

Someone who is so dangerous,
Because she knows that she can survive.
Pushed so far that she has softened to the disappointment of life.

She brings grace along with her.
She shows love when it is unimaginable.

She is patient
When one can do nothing.

She is steady,
And she has unimaginable courage.
You love her,
Yet, somehow, you also fear her.

She can see right into you,
And she says nothing."
