Allure

Where there is a woman, there is always magic. I believe that where there is a woman, there should be a mystery. What intrigues me the most is the allure of how women seem to pull it all together without effort. This is an aspect of the feminine charm that invites investigation.

I see them in business meetings confident, assured, and in command, or smiling in the hallways at school waiting to pick up their kids. They don’t look frazzled, fatigued, or fed up. They look fabulous. They don’t simply juggle, but they fly through the air with the greatest of ease. I wonder what their secret is. Is it money, being well organized, positive thinking, or a profound spiritual connection?

I wonder if the computer ever breaks down when they are on deadlines; if the kids ever cry; if they have to take the dog to the vet. Some women, without missing a beat, can wipe a snotty nose, change a dirty diaper, sew a button on a coat, and help someone with homework. I pause for a moment, wondering what they would do if that woman weren’t there.

There is always the mystery of what will happen next. Instead of worrying, I choose to take joy in my life, a heartbeat at a time. Maybe my face will never end up on the main screen, but I arrived at an inner awareness that just living and loving is all is alluring enough.
