Hunting for treasures.

Recently, I’ve been writing about treasures all because of a book marker that I found. The book marker said: 

This led me to thinking about a list I’d written. It included: sunlight on the stream of water falling from the bathroom shower; ice tinkling in a glass of water; sea breeze. You can read it all here:

Treasure Hunting.

As usual, when I’m writing, my mind begins to link the topic with a book or a story, a song, a memory. So off I went, remembering books, and the time my mother dreamt she’d discovered a tin can of diamonds. Oh my goodness! When I think about all the things I could’ve done if I had found those diamonds!

For your reading pleasure, here it is, A tin can of diamonds.

Daydreaming about treasures led me back to asking - how could some enterprising person start a treasure hunting business? What should people hunt for? What are treasures? Could it be a hunt for honey or fruit in the wild? Could it be trips to unknown places? Or a hunt for unknown storytellers and musicians and artists? Could the treasure hunt be a game that you’ve made up?

Life is so full of possibilities!
