After the guards escorted them out, the rogue stared in disbelief at the pouch. "That's our share? All that effort for a #paltry #fragment of its hoard?"
"Aha!" The barbarian grinned. "It's a Bag of Holding."
The mage winced. "Yes, but—"
"Wow!" The rogue stuck his hand inside it pulled. Gems spilled out, then a twitching claw emerged, then a scaly foot attached to a leg...
The mage groaned. "Where did you think I sent the dragon?"

Shedding the #paltry idea of self-worth you have taught me, I come #undone. Tears run down my face to wash away the #BlackAndWhite pictures from the past. I pick up an #acorn and breathe in the petrichor. #Wisdom lies in the Here and Now.

I feel as helpless now as I did
At fifteen when I couldn’t get
Out of bad situations. The
Wisdom sixty-three years of
Living have given me is paltry,
Flyaway and superficial.
My living has no substance
Beyond daily trials of the
Mind and body, and I
Am not yet poor nor persecuted.The reality is that those in
Power promise the rest they
Will give them what they want,
And then give it only to
Themselves. -
