Very poignant in these times.

So your coin and rings have a history much older than the Solar System we now inhabit. And they will continue, probably forming part of new worlds when ours has also ceased to be. We’re just along for the ride, temporarily.

Stay safe while you’re here.

It’s always good to think of how we are connected to other people, living and in the past. Especially now. Good health to you!

A most interesting story. Something to keep in mind especially in these troubled times.

As in another comment, I had my late mother’s & aunts’ rings & my late father’s cuff links (which had been passed to me by each) melted down & made into two lovely rings & which serve to remind me of them all.

Virginia W now added to my library list in case house arrest calls.
Thank you once again.
