There is a feline quality about this charming
woman, who stares up at us as a cat might if
seated on the floor. She seems fascinated by
what she sees and leans forward slightly as if to
catch every nuance with the singular intensity of
a cat watching a bird. What has held her
attention all this time? Is it something large and
unseen, something of lasting spiritual
importance or merely the amusing details of the
passing parade of life?
