One Monkey to Another

Ani has given form to Ruby’s newest friend.  No longer doomed to wander the ether without shape, the monkey (or munny) has risen from a pair of gray hiking socks like the phoenix from the ashes.  As if to prove her greatness, this monkey wears a short bright red dress and is often hugged by a little girl.  I wish that more deities, world rulers, superheroes, and beings of power would do likewise.  For me, little girl hugs are the genesis of splendor, awe, and greatness.  Those who wish to rule their world need look no further.  The red knit dress may also help. I think that a red knit dress may have been all that Napoleon needed at Waterloo.

Ani has an ability to create things with needles, yarn and thread.  These works give great joy to those who receive them.  I can bear witness to this fact:  I can hardly wait for winter to return so that I can wear the scarf and hat made by her nimble fingers.  Well… to be honest, I would like a little more summer first.
