it wasn't a mysterious stranger who handed me this beauty of a flower. it was waiting for me on the bicycle lane on my way home in the dark of today's rainy night. the fact that I noticed it, turned around, and picked it up makes it even more special to me.
as a character in a novel I'd presumably be about to meet the love of my live, but even in a more sober reality this event gives me a nice 'life is good' - feeling in my stomach ;)
