There was a time when a person of Mormon denomination tried to evangelize me. I kindly heard his first words and said, no thank you. And he kept on and on to a point of harassment. That becomes awkward and, to me, defeats the purpose. I think there are plenty of people that want to be evangelized. Interesting really.<br /><br />But, I will still take these offerings of kindness, as in this case, I’m sure it stills her heart as much as it stilled mine. And yes, I really like what Keiko said about being lucky too.<br /><br />That really is amazing that you and your brother were able to find one another. I see that you have written about it.

I might tell her she had come to the wrong person if she wanted to evangelize me.<br /><br />I like what Keiko said about being lucky. I went on a ten-mile walk with my new-found brother the other day, through woods and fields, by public footpaths. He was looking at the ground because these paths are used by dog-walkers with the inevitable result that you have to watch where you walk. He stopped and stared down. He found a four-leaved clover - a rare phenomenon which the superstitious take as indicating good luck. He picked it but then discovered that the plant had many similar groups of four leaves and at least one of five. We photographed them, and wanted to take them with us. We gave one to a dog-walker following us, but eventually threw the others away, as we were quite certain of our luck anyway, having discovered one another from opposite sides of the world.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322097819850058517.post-34252642015993571582010-06-11T07:18:36.002-07:002010-06-11T07:18:36.002-07:00Keiko, Right, the coin is not money.

She is lucky, and you are lucky to be chosen out of three and have the coin, too. And top of all that, the incident inspired you to write this blog. The lucky thing didn't end there. Yes, I'm lucky to read it and now writing this comment. <br /><br />Come to think of if, being lucky is not a chance. We are responsible for it. We are winners!keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.com
