Ivory and Gold

Today is a very special day.

I won't say why because some things are just for me.

I always thought I would end up alone on some mountain top in rural Korea.

Contemplating and striking the air and wooden things.

You know, monk type ess.

And I suppose there is a universe where I am doing just that.

But not this one.

In this one, I have to nurture and love ivory and two precious mixtures of ivory and gold.

Yes, they all drive me crazy, but I suppose everything I have ever loved does.

So alas, my mountain top is digital.

My alone is in brief pockets of time. 

I am the richest man in the world.

A hermit with a fortune.

Just like I dreamed.
