No, I didn't win the lottery.
I do feel richer though.
Richer for having risen early and watched the sun pink the horizon.
Richer for the metallic blue-black sheen on the river.
Richer for a day of grace with a dear friend.
Richer by 31 boxes of hidden treasure.
Richer from the luxury of hours of deeply held conversation.
Richer smelling the loamy tang of spring after a bleak winter.
Richer by a couple giggles.
Richer for the quiet journey home in the dark watching black trees frame a yellow sky.
Richer despite weary bones and tired eyes
that will dream of days like today long after I am dust.
You said it much better than I and you captured it all. How about your predictions and how they came true? It was a wonderful day and thank you!
