On my first night in Milan, a
mere three weeks ago, I enjoyed a perfect plate of lasagna at a charming little
restaurant in the Galleria.
It was opera night.
La Scala, the opera house built
by Empress Maria Theresa in 1776, was within sight’s distance. I imagine the
orchestra was beginning to mull around in the pit, the overture only an hour
away. The opera crowd in their finest accoutrements weaved their way through
the Galleria’s crowds. I silently mingled in their midst as I worked my way
back to my hotel in the shadow of the Duomo…
It is these rare, glistening moments of my life that I pull out of my
pocket and stare at slack-jawed and humble when flat, colorless days such as
today stretch out endlessly before my tired, wobbling mind.
Bottom line: Always keep your diamond moments within easy reach. Their
worth is manifold.
Until tomorrow…
Chloe
