I wonder how many hours I have spent searching for good luck in a four-leaf clover since I was a child? Or wished on a wishbone and birthday candles? And how many pennies have I picked up while reciting, "Find a penny, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck?"
As I wandered around outside today, looking for leaves for printmaking, I started looking for one of those lucky four-leaf clovers. Within minutes, I found not just one, but a whole plant of four- and five-leaf clovers! What a treasure trove of good luck! Yahoo...lottery!
But as I stood there, clutching my handful of good luck, I looked around me at my home and my beautiful lake with water so clean that I drink from it every day, and thought, here is my lottery! I have all the good luck anyone could hope for. It's in my family, my friends, and my home. It's being born in a country that isn't torn by war and a life that isn't defined by poverty. It's having the freedom to say what I want to say and to go where I choose to go.
Lucky, lucky me!
a whole plant of 4 leaf clovers? that's quite the find!
ReplyDeleteI see you are in BC, so I can totally understand you feeling you are already lucky. I've been there once, and thought it was so beautiful, I wouldn't mind retiring there. Mountains, water, trees, what more could you want, lol?
