A Penny For Each Tear
*From the StoryTale Fables Collection
I’ve often wondered if I could have lived differently. And not just experiences
with people. Jobs, cities, countries & careers. It was always an exalted
passion. A complete immersion. Total & unconditional commitment. I’ve
never lived any other way.
Through these last, very difficult years, of course I’ve revisited & reviewed
just about every major person, place or thing. Checking to see if I could have
done anything differently. Better. Less intense. More balanced.
Honestly…I couldn’t have. What has created my greatest success & my most
awful devastation has been this same element in my character. It’s as much
a part of me as anything else. As important as my legs & arms, or my brain &
my heart.
I know I’ve hit patches that were destructive & dangerous beyond what most
people have experienced. But I’ve also experienced magic. The kind most
people think only exists in books, movies & great songs.
I’ve told stories that people thought I’d made up. Good & bad. They were
incredulous that someone would find themselves in such positions in life.
There’d be people who knew me longer who’d say “it sounds unbelievable-
but all her stories are true”. I always laughed at their incredulity.
I’ve never been able to decide if it was all by choice. Or by fate predestined.
Or perhaps some combination of the two. I only know there never seemed to
be any other way to live. Why bother without a passionate commitment?
In any case, at this point, as I try to find my way to a better place, the only
thing I’ve come up with is- Wouldn’t it be great if for each tear we’ve cried in
our lives, the gods would pitch a penny at us?
I’ve cried tears of joy. Tears of rage. Tears of grief. Tears of laughter. And
sometimes- tears of quiet release or easy contentment.
Can you imagine how very well off we’d all be if that occurred?
I know I’d be very, very wealthy if I had a penny for each tear…
