My earring turned up in the washing several weeks after I lost it. How, I don’t know, but I took it as a good omen. Was what followed good, or bad? It depends which point in the story you read to.
There are many scales of loss and an earring, which I lost this week, is at the very small end of the scale. However, dealing with loss at every scale is something humans have to become accustomed to – that’s life, and COVID.
