I
don’t have much money, and certainly no silver and gold, but I sometimes stop
and consider – and marvel – at how
really rich I am. Riding on this sleek, astonishing planet day after day is
enough in itself to make a person feel affluent. I’m prosperous because this
earth is prosperous. It overflows with wealth for me -- air to breathe, food to
eat, and scenes more special than solid investments. Last evening, driving
home, we saw something better than silver and gold – a line of soft clouds
spread along the west as the sun was sinking. A recession can’t take that kind
of wealth away. Beauty like that shines way brighter than a bank account.
