Sinaida

Day 47 — on the train

Sinaida. Nickname: Sini — only used by those close to her. Susi's firstborn. I have known her since she was four years old.

Greek origin. Two meanings.

The first: shining one.
The second: she who knows.

She is eighteen. She sat on a stone wall outside Frankfurt (Oder) Bahnhof, beside me, with hot chocolate in her hands, crying. She had already read what I wrote to my children. She understood. She came anyway.

Her tears told me something I had not been able to tell myself.


Three children. One morning.

Sini — what is needed.
Mattheo — the courage.
Julika — the heart.


I sat on a train, watching the fields pass, and I asked myself: which wolf am I feeding?

I told Mattheo this morning: don't let your fear rule. Follow your heart.

There are things forming that I am not yet ready to name. What I can name is this — the white wolf has been hungry for a long time, and this morning three people fed him without knowing it.
