I hung hope out with the laundry, clothes-pinned tenderly beside a pillowcase, a tea towel, two sheets and some socks. I could tell she needed air, a sweet puff of wind. She needed to get warm again basking in the sun. \u00a0 <\/span>
\nAfter a few hours, I came out with my basket and took her down. We both felt refreshed. \u00a0 She said, \"Please don't put me back in the drawer with the sheets. Spread me on your table. Let your guests spill their wine and crumbs of bread upon me. Wash me gently, put me back in the sun. \u00a0 Lay me across your bed, so I may keep you warm at night. Or put me on the children's bed, that I might comfort their dreams. \u00a0 Whatever you do,\" she said, \"include me, involve me in your living. It is the only way that I can live.\"<\/span><\/p>\n
