Crystal Clear

This is a post I've wanted to write for awhile.

I just didn't know how.

Until now.

Inspired by

this gift from

nature.

 

 

Magic in its finest form.

 

 

 

 

Through the looking glass.

 

 

 

 

I am reminded

of our own

uniqueness.

How strong we may look,

yet how fragile

we really are..

 

How we can look

so different

from several angles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or through

other eyes.

 

 

 

 

 

Recently,

I was asked to leave my regular post at work

to fill in for someone in another area at school.

It sounds minor,

it is, after all, only an hour a week

for 6 weeks.

However,

it's were the students that get in trouble are sent.

It's

way out of my comfort zone.

Let me assure you,

I can be tough, too tough probably.

Yet, these would be teens I don't know.

In this type of situation,

I am a mouse!

 

While being trained in,

I was making several typing errors due to my nerves.

I was embarrassed

and kept apologizing.

The woman training me turned

and said to me:

"Stop apologizing,

there is only grace here for you."

 

 

 

In that single moment in time,

my whole being went quite.

I was speechless.

No one,

has ever said a kinder thing to me.

 

I was gven a gift that day.

I won't forget it.

 

These crystal like shapes

have been a reminder too.

We all have a story.

 

Strength and weakness

are one.
