A young woman left school and was not entirely sure what she should do with her life. She was told to attend further studies and in the process of learning, she would come to know herself, her tastes and preferences about travel and career. She was young at 40. She met an older woman who was separated from her uh lover. Her lover said she needed time to grow. The older woman encountered this 40 year old at the Study Recruiting Office. She invited the young lady over for tea. They read Deuteronomy 30 together. The younger woman realised that after three visits, she could share a lot of old wives' tales acquired in conversation with her older new uh friend. The older lady would often suggest that the younger lady would be hurt or killed at unusual times of day if she went outside. This made no logical sense. But the young lady continued to listen to what she had to say. The older woman had no children and realised this young lady was looking for a mother figure. The older lady was looking for...it's hard to say. She wanted someone who was self-rejected and with grey hair after three or four days of tea, the younger woman found herself unusually insecure but somehow dependent on her new friend and teacher. They became quite convenient to each other while the young lady changed her mind about school. The young woman spent so much time running from perceived or imagined rejection and little time learning to accept herself as God's good creation. She never forgave her mother, hence her unbalanced desire for a mother figure, and found all the attention and comfort she needed in this new older woman that she met at the recruiting office.
