THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE 
 
Imagine an artist
saying to herself or himself,
“Something’s missing in this painting.”
And they look around the room
for something – anything - and they
say, “It’s missing a pearl!” or “A sword”
or “A book” or “A large platter of pasta.”
 
And they paint into that painting
a platter of pasta or a dog collar or a pearl
of great price and that painting –
once worth about 30 dollars is now
worth millions of euros – hanging
on a wall in a museum in the Hague –
for all to see and praise and admire.

FAVORITES 

Favorites?
Do we all have our favorite number?
Favorite letter?
Color?
Word?
Book?
Movie?
Song?
Ice cream favor?
So why do we hold onto our mistakes?
