those little magical moments

I found what I was looking for.

And I also discovered Tony Bennett and KD Lang's 'A Wonderful World' album.

I felt as if I stepped into another world when I walked into the shop. Jazz background music and shop keepers who were very kind and warm in the heart. I didn't appreciate its value until I understood how it is made. Its certainly one of those gifts you will cherish for a lifetime. Something you will keep and pass onto your grandchildren, as she said. Its magical..

Who is it for? A close friend, a girlfriend?

Well, let say she's not my girlfriend anymore.

Oh, are you two still friends?

Not really, we haven't talked for a long time.

I'm sure you will be friends again in time, as you both mature.

And that was my Richard Mercer moment.

And sometimes those little magical moments in our lives just make life more bearable. Walking into the store and the conversations I had with the middle aged women is something I will always remember. I search for value that isnt monetary. I never had much but I always had enough. And I'm just waiting for my rocket to come.

I never run out of patience. I wait and wait. Because when the train comes, the wait was well worth it.
