Seldom does gambling on the lottery enter my consciousness.
I have chosen to take my risks in other gambles. But the run up of the recent
“Mega Millions Lottery” jackpot to over half-a-billion dollars captured my
attention and I made a bet.
What dreams came of this?
Ruminations creating ridiculous imagery of competitive
generosity – “who to leave in and who to leave out.” Even in the concocted, foggy reality of what could be, my ego
begins to create worry and anxiety.
Truly, no matter where you are placed on the “living
standard” scale (at least in our bountiful United States), the mind wants to
concoct threats to its serenity. Indeed, serenity can only come first. Right
Now! Regardless of where you go (or what you have), there you are. Even in
dreams.
Turns out my lottery bet was a good investment for me. It helped me to remember that the only real jackpot is in being present.
