Pinpoint

 It was one of those moments that is short, but glows in the memory.  I've mentioned it before, and there will be some retelling for the sake of continuity.

She was beautiful and bright and quite erudite for not having travelled widely.  She was a lifelong Democrat and a suffragette.  She had no problem speaking her mind.  And a mind it was, for she analyzed and thought for herself.  

She loved even when she was betrayed.  And those who value things more than people shortchanged themselves.  

She had a bible quote on her mantle.  'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul and mind.  This is the first and great commandment.  The second was like unto it  Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.  Upon these two commandments hang all the law and prophets.'

Those who do not adhere to the above reap what they sow.

Her home was small but was always big to as many who loved.

Long past her transition the house seemed almost hidden amongst businesses.  But it was not forgotten to those who both returned her love, and learned to speak out and speak one's mind.

Injustice never took root in her home.  And among the few things she hated was that.

The house was deserted.  There were security lights.  And, looking in, a light shone over the very spot where she sat and held court to all who sought her counsel.  

Her real Light would never go out and was a pinpoint in all who love her still.

'It's who you are, not what you are' was a maxim.  

And the clan motto COMMIT THY WORK TO GOD.
