Sea Glass and Loss

There have been times when I’ve been seaglass hunting that I’ve found an exquisite piece of pottery … I’ve picked it up and thought I put it in my bag, only to realize when I got home that it somehow didn’t make it in the lot.  It could have been due to a hole in the bag - it could have been that I missed the bag because I wasn’t focusing on it at the time. It could be because I was just not meant to have it. But I can still remember some of them months later and maintain the thought of the improbable chance that I would find one of them again.
