The Crones

 

I've come of age, eight decades and into my ninth! There are days I simply ignore it, days I'm honest enough to admit I feel it in my bones ... and now, I am thrilled to proclaim I've joined the Legion of Crones: Wise Women Within Aging Bodies. 

I dress in their stories, patterned and purple as night. I delight in their memories, telling tales of our collective youth. 

We are the women who wear deep purple, and wear it well! We know how to place fresh flowers in our hair, stack rings on our fingers, dangle silver from our ears! 

Best of all, we will dispense wisdom, to those wise enough to seek it.
