Maybe Lucky
December 24, 2020
The universe gave me a Christmas present today: a bright shiny penny in the snow just where I stopped and clicked out of my bindings at the end of the day. Maybe it’s the same penny that was on the floor of the locker room the other day; I didn’t pick it up then, so it had to follow me around and get my attention. Okay, okay. It’s now in the pocket of my ski pants. Maybe I’ll carry it around the rest of the season as a talisman. Maybe I’ll leave it somewhere for another person to find.
