What a beautiful gift you have received, and not just the spoon. Those chance meetings with people that turn out to be part of your tribe are as much a treasure as the fabulous spoon that now graces your kitchen. Even the telling of the tale was beautiful!
You are so right, and it is beautiful to be connected more and more, and more deeply too, with folks like us who can appreciate what is meaningful in Life! Thanks for this great comment, dear @tamaralovelace !!
