I don’t know why the scent of berries and exotic fruits reminds me of you; you never used them in your cooking. I can’t tell why the hands feel quieter and peaceful remembering of you while washing, tidying , beautifying, tendering. I had never asked myself what it means to be a woman as woman meant just you. I never considered woman not equalling writer as I learnt t o write from you. And I never conceived a world in which there wouldn’t be a woman you. 20 Dec. 2018, Samothraki.
