the most stunning woman i’ve met is a sister of a deceased man from sg. she’s single, never married, a virgin, vegan, humble, speaks softly with few words but clearly, plain looking with no makeup nor hairdo, exudes calm, care, and confidence like a loving mother, nurse, saint all rolled into one. she flew over 6.9k miles just to attend her biological brother’s funeral. she and all her surviving siblings are adopted. for a week in sf she skipped restaurants, catered meals, a fancy banquet in honor of funeral attendees, and lived on self-cooked vegetables, rice, and noodles. when she spoke to me, it was like the universe opened up, and her present life was displayed in full view in 69 minutes of the encounter. that near-hour of conversation seemed to last multiple lifetimes. though brief and succinct, it spoke volumes and encyclopedias. that’s what a goddess will impart. we never meet again, but that chance meeting seems to suggest she’s always there in my 696 lives of existence.
