Oh my gosh, I remember you telling most of this 40 some years ago. You just brought your experience to life my darling daughter. Your written words are so descriptive.
Such an evocative piece of writing Kateri! I love that 2nd last paragraph especially, "I didn’t have the words for it then, but I see it more clearly now, forty years later—something shifted in me that night. I stopped waiting for someone else to reflect the wonder back to me, to say yes, I see it too. It was enough that I saw it. Enough that I was awake to it. That I could witness something entirely on my own, feel it fully, and be changed by it. It seems so obvious now, but as a twenty-year-old girl it was transformational."
