A few weeks ago, I placed my vaccination card in my daily notebook. In my mind’s eye, I could see it within the pages.

Yet when I went to look for it, it was not there.

I fanned through the pages a dozen times. Nothing. Maybe it was lost?

As a last effort — after two days of looking in many other places — I held the notebook by its spiral binding and gave it a gentle shake.

Like a magic trick, the card fell onto my desk.

Sometimes we need to find new ways of looking in order to find what we seek.
