buried treasure

my daughter hadley wanted to go fishing sunday morning. she was excited about it but was worried about me ~ she told her mother i might not want to go because i was vegetarian. she then told her mother if she caught a fish she would throw it back and her mother was to tell me that. at six years old she already understands the concept of non-violence. it ended up she only caught seaweed. but the bakelite jewelry i brought for her from my trip had fish on it so she did end up catching something! after fishing and a little play on the beach, we went to see their new house in san pedro. they are moving from a view of a parkinglot to a full frontal view of the ocean with eucalyptus trees and cliffs, from rags to riches! it is a fixer-upper that will be inprocess for awhile but it is also a mansion on the beach. im so happy for them. i had read about the two guys in england who found a buried viking treasure. it was over a thousand years old, only a foot beneath the surface of the ground, and in a farmers field (a place that had been dug for centuries). how close are we all to treasures? in meditation class, we did exercises for bringing in the treasures that are right before our eyes yet we miss them. i am finding them every second!
