Greece. Some time ago. A local woman, a traveller, a conversation. A hilltop, a chapel, a Madonna, a plea. Years pass. Nothing. Then, a realisation. The Madonna had been listening after all. To something the traveller was unable to consciously voice at the time. There was only one real need. Nothing to do with the outside, with events, people or things. All the traveller needed was to lose the fear of letting go.
