golden ticket.
how lucky am I?
today I found the golden ticket
just waiting for me in my mailbox.

“It was a very beautiful thing, this Golden Ticket, having been made, so it seemed, from a sheet of pure gold hammered out almost to the thinness of paper. On one side of it, printed by some clever method in jet-black letters, was the invitation itself—from Mr. Wonka.”

melted heart.
lucky encounter
of a piece of summer’s art –
when crossing paths
with a melted ice cream heart.

ice-cream is often employed to feed poets upon.”

don’t forget.
what a lovely coincidence
that on this day
as i continue on my city parks journey
and drive through a neighborhood
i am lost
until
i come to the intersection of
pamela and patricia
the names of
my two sisters
one still with us
one gone forever
and today –
her birthday
i look ahead to find
they’ve led me
to the beautiful park right in front of me.

four.
a relaxed and wonderful evening
spent with my three daughters
dinner at the prickly pear cafe
then
movie and laughs and talk
just the four of us
enjoying each others’ good company.
because of them
i have always known
that
four is my lucky number.

lucky.
met a friendly irishman
in line
at the first airport
with an accent
who was
going my way
we had
many hours
of
travel adventure
ahead of us
through
flight delays
canceled flights
missed connections
route changes
airline changes
seat changes
itinerary changes
re-ticketing
running to gates
taking shuttles
sitting on the tarmack
trying to find lost luggage
sharing
food
and
beers
and
stories
and
laughs
and
names of
places to visit
each
making our way
to the magic land of
ireland
for our own reasons
and
what a lucky beginning
to this wonderful adventure.
