QOTD: “A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.” -Antoine de Saint-Exupery Ever love someone for characteristics they didnt know they had? Ever been drawn to something that others didnt understand? Ever see something that no one else sees? Maybe in another person, or an object, or an opportunity; a future potential that lies hidden, waiting to be uncovered? The scope of human existence is as small and limited as we want to make, or as vast as we can truly imagine. What matters seldom is the current state of a person, place or thing; the important thing is what they could be. You, in your heart, bring forth that hidden greatness. Once a thing is considered something else, then the possibilities are endless. Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy once there is a vehicle to transfigure it into the might be. Arid open spaces become parks, landmarks, and institutions. Inanimate objects come to life and serve different, better, and more important purposes than originally intended. People, if given the time, may grow, may change, may inspire greatness. If you believe in something (even if that something is yourself) that others dont see--get to work. Plant seeds into the someday-great soil. Dust off the cob-webs and dust. Polish off the tarnish. Toss away the refuse and dig for what you know is hidden. It is our obligation to ourselves and to mankind to search and work and find.....and finally to let shine--the greatness that surrounds us.
