How does your prism look like?

Its crystal clear at first, gleaming in the sunlight and shining off with a confidence no one can fake. Its grows like a tree, starting small, but ending big and solid. There is a beauty in its naivety, that all us appreciate, that all of us, deep down, miss sorely. Its a sort of ignorance, a magical place where the stars shine every night and the moon lights up a quiet path for us to tread. It leads to a place of wonder, a marvelous and innocent gem of curiosity; with no flaw whatsoever...

At the same time, it is stupid, idiotic actually...a raw amalgamating knot of emotion; making you hope there is still faith left in humanity. The sheer dumbness of it makes you want to wave it aside, but its not as easy as you think it should be. It's not just a simple matter of putting it aside, there is more to it than that, an attachment, a memory, a feeling. It's like giving up spontaneity and marrying eternal routine and habit until death does you! We all wish to retain the little child inside us, to oppose change and growing up. We all want to be in Peter Pan's circle of friends; to keep the crystal from getting foggy and flawed. To gaze at the stars and moon endlessly without worry...

What many think, is that; there is no choice.There is no deciding when it comes to change, and they are right..Partly! We may not control change, we may not oppose it, but we can guide it. We can gulp it down like medicine or we can mix it up or we can even have some salt and lime with it! We may have to grow accustomed to a morning bright sky and the hot sun, but that doesn't mean we can't see the stars and moon anymore. That doesn't mean we can't take our shard of crystal out once in a while, wipe it clean and stare at it for a little while. Our stone does not need to change from clear crystal to black coal, it need not be so tough all over so it can resist the harsh rays of the sun. We can shape it into something else, something clear, yet hard and strong. Something that will let you gleam light in all its colours despite the sun, something that won't bog you down into boredom and dullness.

We can shape it however we want, and we want the best do we not?
So we'll shape it well, our future, our perception, our attitude towards life and our compassion for others.
The best thing ever; strong yet sensible...like a Diamond =)
