This Is This

Tibetans believe that luck is definite quality. Like strength or skill, everyone has it - to varying degrees. You can improve upon what luck you possess by altering your circumstances, but basically you’ve got a “luck count” and you go from there.

I don’t know about me, but I get the coincidences, as regular readers may know. While I was on holiday last month I was thinking, of all things, about Anne of Green Gables. It was a childhood favourite of Wife. I hasten to add that this was a long time ago and she is no a child bride, though her age is of little import. The term “little import” does not have anything to do with how we met.

“Is Anne of Green Gables,” I was wondering, “available on DVD? That would win me some Brownie points.”

I hasten to add that is has been many years since Wife was in the Brownies, and I use this term purely figuratively.

Anyway, the next (fucking) morning I turn on the TV and Anne of Green Gables is on in Spanish. I don’t know, Jaunita de los Gablas Verdes or something, but you have to admit that’s another coincidence.

It’s money dharma. The only constant is change, particularly loose change.
