I lost a $20 bill and found a snake ring on the same day. Later, I took the path of medical training. The ring broke when my training ended.
Ah, those omens! I’m reading The Alchemist right now and your post could have been a chapter.
That book has been mentioned to me twice recently. Must be time to re-read it!
This is a beautiful piece of flash prose. I appreciate the speaker's awareness of forces at work in terms of signs and symbols, gifts given and received. And the time span of the use of the ring seems momentous.
Thanks for your comment, Sue! It helps when a reader gets what I'm trying to say.
