When I was in Bombay, now Mumbai,  I found a pair of cat’s eye sunglasses circa 1950’s in a tiny shop along one of the boisterous avenues. I liked them very much, but I was hesitant to buy them because of their apparent fragility. The vendor listened to my concern and responded with, “You will lose them before they break.”

That was almost twenty years ago.

The other day I was looking through a box where I keep my journals and spied a hard plastic case that I’d forgotten. Lying inside, looking not one day worse for wear were these glasses. They were neither broken nor lost, but they had been rarely worn these years and years.

Perhaps it is best to wear them now and often. I’ll enjoy that, and take my chances.
