The Tea Parties

You came for the cake. You will leave with a woman in your corner.

An Afternoon That Changes The Next Ten Years

Bone china, real cake, a garden, and a room of women who came for the reason you did.

Aunts and Darlings at one table, with nobody placed in front of anybody. The talking does all of it. You go home already knowing.

Melbourne first, and every city after her
Twenty dollars holds your chair, and it comes off the price of the day
Change your plans and the twenty waits in your Purse, for as long as you need it to
This is where you meet her, before a single arrangement is made

One of these is you, and the other one is waiting for you.

A woman over fifty

You have lived long enough, and wildly enough, to tell the truth without judgement. There is a young woman who needs exactly that.

A woman under fifty

You are looking for the truth, plainly told. She has already stood where you are standing and she came back to say so.
