Photo by Lucas Pezeta“Hortense was a young woman, thin and flat-chested, with brown curly hair just below her ears, held back on one side by a bobby pin or barrette. She wore flat, brown, tied oxford shoes, and I could hear the clack, clack of each angry, determined footstep as she strode by our house each day, head down and arms firmly crossed in front of her.”
My Featured Blogger this week is Martha Hendricks of White Hair Grace. Read on and you’ll see why. There’s a profound humility and compassion that permeates everything Martha writes. A former professional singer, pastor, writer, decorative painter, and “introspective elder,” Martha “still finds life fascinating.” She’s a vibrant model of how to live a meaningful life.

What does the Shakespearean word really mean?
The whole quote, Tega, or just one of the words Shakespeare uses? In general, the quote means something like, “life is like acting in a play that we know will end, and stressing over whether our lives have any real meaning.”
Thanks for the explanation.
Exactly what I wanted♡
I love Martha’s blog! Thanks for giving it a wider platform.
