If graphite is squeezed with just the right temperature and pressure it becomes a diamond. Something dull and simple becomes quite miraculous. Gorgeous. Strong and beautiful.
My universe and its unyielding lessons aren't leaving one stone unturned. I should correct this...there are a few unturned and I am quite fearful universe...so please leave them that way. I am finding myself overwhelmed. Tired. Drained. Hurt. Weary. Worn. I am sliding into old grooves...pulled as if the ice needs a good cleaning.
My car ride back and forth to work has been mentioned often. It is my only "quiet" time. I use quotes because quiet is the last way I would describe the drive. My music is my companion. Today a few clicks of the ipod brought me to this song....how perfect. I will admit to you that I played it over and over. It made sense of the madness that has been going on around me. There is a shift happening and it seems that things are being twisted in some medieval device...relentlessly. Pressure is scary. Hard. Makes us snap. Makes us short. Pushes us to say and do things. We clean. We run. We fight. We all have our behaviors and while are some are quite productive...others are extremely damaging. Finding the tools and methods to get through the pressure is the key. Harming as few souls as we can while on the journey is a goal. Becoming more...better...bigger...stronger is why we experience pressure.
When you are delivering a baby they use the term "pressure". When a jeweler describes the process of the development of a diamond the word is also used. Babies and diamonds are both pretty spectacular so I'll cross my fingers and hope that at the end of this mess of a life I've been living lately...something really extraordinary will be the result.
In the meantime...to those of us experiencing these shifts...be patient. With yourself. With others. Focus. Breathe. Center. Keep perspectives. Be aware. Be productive. Be kind....and wait for the sparkle of the diamond that you will become.
