Losing and Gaining

With palms together,
Good Morning All,
 
A young lady lost her engagement ring in the grass near our courtyard yesterday.  She spent hours out there trying to find it.  For awhile, I searched with her, but the tiny ring was not to be found.
 
As we searched, she talked about the ring, just receiving it, her happiness, and her panic and hurt over losing it.  Yet, she also talked about her fiance.  How he said not to worry, that he will borrow a metal detector to search more deeply for it and if that failed he would just buy her another.
 
Nothing was really lost.  Nothing was really gained. Everything was revealed.
 
Be well.
