Swimming Across the Sea



I had nothing to write about today until now, when I opened the mail. I got a package from the United Kingdom, and nestled like a Matryoshka doll in ever smaller packaging and wrapping, I discovered this beautiful silver mermaid pin with a tiny pearl.

Where have you swum from, beautiful mermaid?

Thank you, lovely person from lands far away. This is a beautiful gift, a real treasure from the sea.

Thank you.
