To the woman with the beatific smile in the car behind me, thank you.
Same goes to every woman I've ever met and never met.
Thanks for being good, bad, indifferent, inspiriting, impossible, chilled, heated, brutal, tender, insane, enlightened, vulnerable, impenetrable, transparent, abstruse, transcendent, monstrous and human.
Thank you for your noise and your silence, your profound ministrations and your unabated hate, your whimsical obstruction and your caring help, your crushing imperiousness and your restorative attention.
Thank you for raising me, teasing me, teaching me, guiding me, bringing out the best in me to better see the road ahead, bringing out the worst in me to better understand what it is I'm fighting for, ignoring me in my hour of petulance, beguiling me in my moment of apathy, praising me through the darkness, chiding me through the hubris.
Always, always, always inspiring me.
Thank you for getting me up and over the line when all I ever want to do is lay down and give in every second of my life.
She
