Les Beautiful. Les
Miserables.
By Ashwini Bhatnagar
"THAT'S
the gold I see," she said, pointing to the
golden glitter which had spread from the shore to
the distant horizon where the orb waited to take
the final bow before disappearing into the
fathomless depths of the sea. " And
thats gold, too," she said, referring
to the beach sand which had also changed its hue.
"Believe me," she continued, "I
believe in what I see. You hold this moment and
you will feel the gold around you. Let it pass,
and there is only dirty sand and foul smelling
sea around you. This is my reality principle ---
that 15 minutes-of-fame thing when you are bathed
in the ethereal glow that now surrounds us. I say
dream about it, live for it, and, most
importantly, be there when time and tide are
ready to cover you with their shimmer."
