Gold Nuggets - The Ultimate Love Affair

It was
a barmy scorching hot day somewhere out in the Pacific Ocean, a rather
nondescript place where the ocean waves heaved and sighed in their
relentless rise and fall. A single particle a tiny droplet of water
within the ocean felt itself being drawn upwards towards the ever
increasing strong light above, to start on it’s course an amazing
journey, until now untold, a love affair between the elements, which
would result in one very happy individual like you, holding in their
hand, one of the most precious gifts known to man and a lifelong
cherished memory of good and happy times.

Upon breaking the
surface of the ocean, the particle of water felt itself being lifted up
and away from the surface which was still heaving below. Along with
billions of other similar particles of water, this particle felt itself
rising higher and higher until the ocean home it had known for so long
was now far, far below.

Swirling on the winds above, the feeling
was very much similar to being in the watery deep which so far had been
it’s only memory, but this was altogether a totally new environment, at
least she thought to herself, ‘I Am not alone’, for there were still
billions of other particles of water also it seemed destined for this
new and strange journey. What is to become of me the particle of water
said to herself as yet another gust of wind carried her higher still.

Before
too long, she happened to bump into another particle of water and
together they held hands and talked about their individual journeys and
how they had got to where they were now, it felt good all of a sudden
not to be so alone, so they made a pact to try to bump into as many
other friendly looking particles of water, for it felt as though at
least, in the safety of numbers, they might at least defy this ever
increasing upward lift that they were still experiencing, in the hope
that one day, they might just be able to find their way home again, to
the ocean which was now way, way below them.

In the very far
distance storm clouds were brewing and as the day went by, they were
drifting ever closer to their present position, high in the sky. By now
their number had swelled to a very good number of them all holding
hands together so that they did not lose any one of their fellow
particles of water. Suddenly the storm system was upon them and they
held hands ever tighter than before, grouping themselves together so
that they formed by now a tiny droplet of water.

The storm was
now gathering speed, rushing westwards and within several hours they
saw land ahead. Some of the other particles of water in the great ocean
had told them about this strange substance called land and the stories
shared had always been rather fantastic, so although with a little
trepidation and trembling they anticipated a great adventure ahead, one
which they all knew individually one day they too would be sharing with
other particles of water in the ocean, which was now starting to recede
as they crossed over onto the land mass itself. The droplet of water
all the while had been growing larger and larger in size and they could
see now that many other particles of water had had exactly the same
idea and were all now gathered together in little clumps bouncing and
swirling around on the the swirls and rushes of wind which enveloped
them. In fact there was quite the party atmosphere and everyone was
immensely enjoying themselves.

On and on they flew over the land
crossing first the coastal cities sitting on their rivers, up up and
away they continued, the rolling landscape below in all it’s shades of
color, never had they all experienced something so exciting as this. Up
ahead they could now see on the horizon a chain of mighty mountains.
Suddenly they realised just how many of them there were in this single
droplet of water and how heavy all of a sudden they were. You could
certainly see them now with the naked eye and it was getting more and
more difficult for them to stay airborne.

Before they knew it,
they were right on top of the mountain range, when suddenly without
warning a huge clap of noise thundered all around them, making every
droplet of water quiver and shiver excitedly, when suddenly, slowly at
first and then faster and faster they felt themselves falling towards
the landmass far below.

Faster and faster they went, tumbling
over and over and every other droplet of water around them was doing
the same. Without warning they were right on top of the mountain when
Plop! - they connected with it and instantly dissipated in many
different directions. All the particles of water were highly surprised
by the experience but at least the surface upon which they all now
found themselves was wet, so they still had a very good feeling about
the journey in front of them. Slowly and surely, they felt themselves
still being drawn on downwards. Thankfully they had all landed on a
rather friendly looking small tree, on one of it’s leaves in fact, so
sliding over the surface of the leaf, they approached the edge and
again felt themselves falling, only this time, not so far, for the next
leaf below them caught them safely where they thereupon repeated this
several times, landing at last on the actual surface of the earth, and
it actually felt very good. Calling goodbye to the tree and saying
thank you for being so kind they now slid across the surface of this
‘thing’ that they had heard was called the ground, arriving shortly in
a small puddle of water, where much to their delight, all the other
particles of water with which they had shared their journey so far,
were now in, with just the last few particles arriving.

All
around it was still raining very heavily and already many other
particles of water were far ahead of them down below on the
mountainside, grouping themselves once again together in little
rivulets and then tiny streams and then bigger streams and further
ahead still, even greater torrents of water.

The puddle by now
was really getting quite full, so joining together again, the droplet
formed it’s previous friendship with as many other particles as they
could muster and they started to teeter towards the edge of the puddle.
With a sudden swoosh they went over the edge to begin the great water
roller coaster journey of their lives.

Somewhere below, the first
torrents of water were now really gushing at full pelt, stirring up the
rocks which too were starting to tumble all around them in the same
direction. Such was the force of the water at this point, that some
rocks were now becoming dislodged from the bedrock upon which they had
been attached to for a very long time, and along with them, one small
nugget suddenly felt itself being forced away from it’s mother and this
rock seemed to glow that much brighter than all the other rocks around
it. Down and down further the nugget was forced to go and way above
him, another droplet of water was experiencing similar emotions. Some
time passed, many hours in fact and eventually the very heavy rain
started to ease off, however, on the ground, all was still a very great
turmoil, as everyone seemed to have the same purpose, which was to get
as far down as possible.

The little gold nugget eventually came
to a stop in a somewhat perilous location, caught by a tiny projection
of rock. He surveyed the scenery flying past him. Billions of droplets
of water rushing past, now and again lifting him slightly, before his
weight conquered the force and he settled backwards again into his
resting place. The water was getting stronger all the time though and
he knew that eventually he would be lifted out again and most likely
would continue his onward journey to the valley below.

A roaring
noise assailed him just a few minutes later from further up the
mountainside. Lo and behold it was the droplet of water now rushing
downwards with an even mightier force of similar droplets, when
suddenly the two came face to face for the very first time. Bang! ‘Oh
hello’, said the droplet diving underneath the nugget of gold, and with
another sudden whoosh, the gold nugget felt itself finally lifted up,
over the edge of the little projection of rock which hither-to-fore had
been holding him back and together they bounced and swirled downwards,
finally reaching the valley floor. The gold nugget was ever so thankful
to the droplet of water for depositing him in such a quiet and peaceful
looking spot and he settled back into his new home, resting place.
Checking that he was ok, the droplet swirled around in the eddy a few
times, each time passing by the gold nugget and calling out, checking
to see that all was well. On the final go around, they called out to
each other and bade their goodbye’s as the droplet joined the river
which was now moving more slowly downstream

Meanwhile somewhere
far away, another beautiful event was unfolding. A handsome young man
was down on one knee and saying something to a gorgeous looking lady.

On
and on the droplet of water journeyed, until eventually after the
passage of quite some time, it felt itself tasting salt again and knew
instantly that by now it must be very close to the ocean once more.

The
nugget of gold was pleasantly pleased with his new surroundings too,
the sunlight sparkled like a million diamonds above him and all around
him were similar little tiny nuggets of gold just like him. The weeks
passed into months, the seasons changed, the water level rose once more
for a few months until once again, they dropped and their was a faint
discernible difference in the temperture of the water. It was spring
and then summer all over again.

Bouncing along the track in his
four wheel drive meanwhile, a young handsome man was behind the wheel
on one of his many expeditions into this part of the county to prospect
for gold. He had already enjoyed quite a few successful seasons and was
hoping that today too, he could turn up a decent yield of gold for the
surprise gift he was hoping to give to his girlfriend, to whom he was
now engaged. Upon arriving in a beautiful and serene very peaceful
spot, he turned off the track, parked up and started to pull out his
gold prospecting equipment.

He was pleased that by now, with
several seasons experience behind him, that he had a few, very good
lightweight tools that he knew would help him in his search for gold.
He had a plan up his sleeve too, the gold that he found today, was to
go with other gold that he had found on previous gold prospecting
trips, and via a jeweler craftsman friend of a friend, he was going to
have this made into a very beautiful wedding ring, with which to marry
his girlfriend. She would see it for the very first time on the actual
wedding day. Without further ado, he set to work, setting up the
equipment and started the enjoyable experience of looking for gold
using his sluice and panning equipment.

As the day was drawing to
a close, he thought he would try just one more spot about fifty feet
away from where he was presently toiling away.

The nugget of gold
saw the shadow first above the surface of the water getting closer and
closer and once again a warm glowing feeling came over him as he sensed
with a degree of excitement that the next finger of his journey was
about to begin.

This young man moved closer with something in his
hand, a long tubular device. Suddenly this was right on top of the
nugget of gold and with great surprise he felt himself being sucked up
out of his lovely resting place and together with other silt and tiny
stones and sludge, being conveyed towards the bank, whereupon he was
put through several processes which involved being swirled around in a
pan. After a very short while, there was less water in the pan than
before and then suddenly with a whoop of joy, the man saw for the very
first time the little nugget of gold, knowing instantly that he now had
enough for his gold ring. Hooray! he thought, talking to himself about
how he would have the ring designed.

So this is what is to become
of me the gold nugget said to himself, I am to become a gold wedding
ring, well, what finer privilege could I have than to help this kind
man share his love with the lady of his dreams. What a beautiful item I
am to become a part of and to think, everyone will admire me for so
many years to come, what could be a more beautiful destiny?

The
months passed by, the seasons came and went, the years rolled along and
the gold nugget was very happy. He loved his new home, he loved what he
stood for, he loved the fact that he was part of a symbol of eternal
love and affection between two such very special people. Years rolled
into decades and everything was very good.

As if it was
yesterday, the couple walked along by the shore of the ocean, still
holding hands, arms gently swinging, talking about their life so far
together. Still very much in love, it was their golden wedding
anniversary. Fingers joined, entwined together in love the little gold
nugget could not be happier. The sun was warm and everything felt so
very good. Laughingly the couple kicked off their sandals and walked
together, the waves now and again rushing up to greet their toes
scrunching into the soft golden sands. They embraced, her hand
caressing his warm facial features, the gold ring glistened in the sun,
a small wave crashed at their feet as they kissed and a tiny droplet of
water flew upwards through the air and landed on her third finger onto
her gold wedding ring. Everything had come around once again , full
circle.
