Let me tell you a story.

A story about a woman

A woman who is unseen

A woman whose absence is noticed but presence never felt

A woman who is humble

A woman who does not hold up her own burner

She doesn’t think it is necessary to be seen

She appreciates the few who recognises her absence and is amazed at those who see her

“Am I not invisible?”

Recognition makes her ask

She has learnt to be content with mere recognition of her work

She has learnt to be in the shadows, not being seen.
