We can lose our words, our hearts, our minds, our car keys, our senses, those we love, our appetite, our sense of purpose and our way.
Sacha found a watch chain amongst the many brocante things I have, on it was a little key. He wrapped the watch chain around his wrist and wears it as a bracelet. The little key dangles, he asked me what does it open? I responded, "Something you haven't yet found."
What key do you hold?
Winners of an old key…please send me your address by email:
Chicago Sheila:
"France a couple of years ago…misplaced my heart
…found it in our vacation photos."
Jeni:
"…Keys, worn by time, some new, some old, unused, but kept close like old friends. I hope they are only misplaced, that they will show up smooth and worn in my pocket again."
Dee:
"Well, when my Grandma died my mom gave me her beautiful gold locket from England with a diamond in it. When we went on vacation I wadded it up in foil and put it in the freezer safe from robbers or fire.(??) The day we got home my husband cleaned the freezer and trashed it. (unknowingly.) I was so sad that he went to the dump and tried to find our garbage. Lost cause. I will always feel bad about it. He smelled like a garbage truck when he got home :)"
And Patti:
"
My husband and I took our first trip to New York in our mid 20's. Of course we had to go to Tiffany's. We decided to buy me a tiny gold whistle on a thin little chain. (It was the least expense thing we could find). It came in a tiny velvet bag. Years later, I was wearing it shopping. I wasn't feeling well but decided to trying on something anyway. I must have pulled off the necklace as I changed the shirt. I didn't miss it at the time and it was gone when I return. I'm still sad about it but I still have the little bag."
