Serendipity

Miriam Handler July 22, 2016

I keep having the feeling that my timing has been on point.  I came to Zurich early this morning to stay in the airport hotel before leaving for Italy early tomorrow morning.  I am having a hard time writing right now because I just had two glasses of prosecco.  Anyway.  I walked towards the water, as that typically feels like the destination point of most cities that I visit.  I walked on a balcony overlooking the lake, and saw a man approach, in preparation for a performance.  Initially, he began what I thought might be a magic show as he pulled two long poles out of a short bucket.  To my surprise, he pulled these poles apart to create massive bubbles.  Maybe bubbles are trite and cliche, but the rain came as soon as stopped shooting, so to me it was serendipity.
