Pearls of Pain
Pearls of Pain
It wouldn’t be fair for me to tell others to “Trust the Process”.
Because I know I have failed at seeing the process working.
Our situation is unique...
the beginning and end are obvious...
the journey, however, is painful, tedious, confusing and often, we believe, beyond our limits..
Think of how pearls are formed...
just an everyday, normal piece of sand finds it’s way into the oyster’s shell.
(Which is impressive that it’s usually only one or two grains of sand, considering the innumerable grains on beaches and underwater)
The grain of sand is a problem, and causes the Oyster irritation...
the oyster has a defense system to prevent the sand from tearing its soft tissue and covers the sand, within its shell, with layers and layers of smooth membrane that hardens into a smooth, edgeless pearl over time.
Remember: the aggravation and pain and discomfort are a necessary part of the journey to produce Wisdom’s Pearls.
