what mystery?

the timeless girl is always watching
the mystery goes like this:
there is a girl, who is not a woman yet.
there is a girl, who has no age.

there is a girl, who you can see, but rarely do.
there is a girl, who is there all the time.

the world changed around the girl,
yet the girl remained the same.

there is a girl who is timeless,
there is a girl who knows no age.

The timeless girl mystery is a a sort of an obsession for me. It's been in my family for generations, and we've meet with other families, normal in any aspect, just like us.

I remember being told as a child, repeatedly, and being shown this big old book that was left to me after father passed. I remember I was told about the mystery.

"Search for this girl with your eyes everyday son, search for her, and if you do see her, look at her closely, for you will have a chance to see her once again, maybe, when you're old."

What's the actual mystery?
There is a girl, who is not a woman yet, and who will never be a woman. This girl, has been seen, century after century, showing up in important places or at important events. Sometimes it was just a random place, on the street.

This is a girl, who has been seen at the side of French kings, has been seen as a bar-maid a hundred years later, has been seen as a countess, has been seen walking on the street recently and has been painted long ago.

This is a girl who is always the same, her hair is the same, her face is the same. This is a girl who repeatedly showed up in history, over the past 400-500 years, and yet, she remained the same.
