Something remarkable happened yesterday, but before we explore that, we need to take a trip back in time.
One day last summer,
after a day of splitting firewood and puttering about in the yard, I realized I
had lost my wedding band. This is nothing unusual for me. I have lost enough
bands that I started wearing inexpensive silicone rings, each of which sells
for less than a can of beer.
Yesterday, without
really thinking about it, I scooped up a handful of leaves from the strip of
flowers between the two aprons at the garage. Peripherally, I wanted to assess
the level of moisture and decay in the leaves. After looking at them, I glanced
back down at the spot where I had lifted them and saw, amid the remaining
leaves, the wedding band I lost last year.
Remarkable.
If you look closely at
the first photograph I posted, you will see the ring slightly left of center.
