Wooden Dolphin

February 13

A handsome hand-carved wooden dolphin sits on my desk at home. I purchased this beauty on a beach on Antigua many years ago. The young man selling it asked $15. We haggled. I bought it for $6. I won! I thought. Now I know differently. What was a game to me was his livelihood. That Dolphin reminds me of my arrogance that day. I continue to seek ways to atone for that Dolphin and I am happy to be making the payments. I am blessed to be in this country. I can give more.
