Fortune Cookie
You may remember a blog entry I wrote a few years ago in Romania entitled How to Become a Princess. That entry was inspired by Senor Heaven Admin.
And now he is making me Queen of the World!
Heaven Admin has the trifling idea that I am a drama queen. Nonsense. I report accurately. I call a spade a spade, and I call good fortune good fortune.
I said to Heaven Admin this morning: “Am I living a dream? Can this be my life?” And he calls my response over-dramatic? Actually, it was an understatement.
How would you respond if a handsome young man entered your office with a huge chocolate chip cookie he had made from organic whole wheat flour, organic choc. chips, organic coconut, organic butter, organic seeds, organic home-made kefir, bought ginseng and fresh organic ginger and all his consciousness stirred in every bite? I am talking about one of those huge monster cookies, and just think if it was a meal, and it was all for you?
And what if he also brought along his little maté gourd with authentic yerba maté tea for you to drink through his very own bombilla straw to wash down the cookie?
Wouldn’t you drown in joy? And he dares to call me a drama queen? Come on, does the Queen of England have it as good? I am sure not. Why, my response was repressed.
If I were a drama queen, I would have levitated, slobbered, screamed Halleluja, spoken in tongues, hired a blimp with a sign saying, “Yahoo, Heaven Admin,” hugged him so tight I would have bruised his ribs, and followed him everywhere and never left his sight. But I contained myself.
And then, just when life couldn’t be better, he returns with some kind of unknown tea filled with apple pieces and peel and sweetened with honey — what would you do? Would you just act busy and give a perfunctory nod as if, of course, every morning of your life had been like this? “Yeah, oh, well, by the way, thanks for the cookie.”
What you’ve got to know, which you may not already, is that if you were here, you would receive the same treatment.
And you, in your wisdom, might have thought to take a photograph of the huge chocolate chip cookie before you ate it.
