Gold

And, so it is: 

thanks to the incredible eye, of a Ms. Joyce Wallen, whom I do not know personally, only via her astonishing finds on a social media site, a group named “Jewels of the Gilded Age.”

For this and so many other worldly marvels; that this is my birth month, that I am still alive to draw breath, smile, laugh with loved ones...to  be, is an incomprehensible ( at times, wildly so) marvel. An inestimable gift;  a purely lucky alignment of chemicals, star dust, the mysteries of the cosmos, love and courageous intimacy, with all and everything that I am, with every fibre of my being, knowing, soul and my heart, for which, I am eternally mystified and evermore grateful.
