"Like snowflakes, the human pattern is never cast twice. We are
uncommonly and marvelously intricate in thought and action, our
problems are most complex and, too often, silently borne."
Alice Childress
US writer 1920-1994
Would you like to be more open? Begin small. A word here, a note
there, maybe a line or two, all on unsteady ground. I would venture
to say we have all experienced this sometime in our lives.
Maybe a child who was seen and not heard. Maybe a student who
felt out of place, overwhelmed. The young mother who could not
understand why her baby cried so much.
The wife or husband who felt their words fell on deaf ears. The
couple left in an empty nest. Retired, living like strangers in the
same house together.
Our elderly, no one notices as they struggle to be independent.
Very sad to know so many stories will never be written. Just one
word, a line, a letter, maybe a journal to say, "hey I was here too."
We not only owe this freedom to ourselves, but to any and all who
have known us. Let the world know you are here, playing a part on the
stage of life too.
Allow yourself to know what kind of part you played. Then you can
look back and see what a special snowflake you have always been.
