PROST!

This is the old world, new to me! Ancient streets I walk upon. I hear my footsteps in the now, bouncing off walls and ascending stairs that only dreams would permit. "Oh no!" This is happening to me. "Catch this moment". I take that photo, draw something you see. If nothing else I just look. It will add something. All magic is given and it is just the acceptance that matters.
I awake. The air is waltzing around me. I close my eyes ever so tightly and with a gracious bow stand before this blond maiden. She follows my lead. Those around us do the same.  "I kiss the air above her hand." Hannes is telling me about grace. "Every year the ball happens in Vienna. Here, wear this tie. You must have one to enter the Casino." We crossed the street. Slots were no where. Tables were rounded with elegant high rollers each with an air of abandon. "Kellnerin (Waitress), mein Getrank! (my drink)" a snapped finger. Five stacks of black chips ($1000 each) he eased forward.
The dice said yes..."Der Gewinner (Winner)".
But of course! Rich to rich. 
"Hannes I think not." "Good call Charles. We should go to a Heurigen.""OK...Vas is das?" "You like wine?" "Yes." 
Hannes pulled open the door. We sat outdoors. The carafe of wine arrived. "Prost!" "To you my friend! I couldn't believe the all that money bet!" "AHH it is common. BUT...You Charles live in PARADISE! They only wished so. Drink my friend, Dr. Maui!" "Prost................."
