The Woman Who Makes Swell Doughnuts

There is nothing I like to do better than to go to her house and knock on

the door and when she opens the door, to go in. It is one of the experiences I

will lang remember--perhaps the only immortality that I will ever be lucky to

meet in my short life and when I say experience I do not mean the actual

movement, the motor of our lives. I mean by experience the dancing of

emotions before our eyes and inside of us, the dance that is still but is the roar

and the force capable of stirring the earth and the people.

Of course, she, the woman I visit, is old and of her youthful beauty there is

little left. Her face of today is coarse with hard water and there is no question

that she has lived her life: given birth to six children, worked side by side with

her man for forty years, working in the fields, working in the house, caring for

the grandchildren. facing the summers and winters and also the springs and

autumns, running the household that is completely her little world. And when I

came on the scene, when I discovered her in her little house on Seventh Street,

all of her life was behind, all of her task in this world was tabbed, looked into,

thoroughly attended, and all that is before her in life and the world, all that

could be before her now was to sit and be served; duty done, work done, time

clock punched; old-age pension or old-age security; easy chair; soft serene

hours till death take her. But this was not of her, not the least bit of her.

When I visit her she takes me to the coziest chair in the living room, where

are her magazines and books in Japanese and English. "Sit down," she says.

"Make yourself comfortable. I will come back with some hot doughnuts just out

of oil."

This sentence is from the passage.

"This is commonplace, it is not new and the old
