Diamond in the Rough

I am looking for "diamonds." What I mean is I am endeavouring to bring to light the things in my life and thinking that have only attained clarity and some measure of brilliance over time, and under great pressure.


Sometimes it's hard to distinguish these "diamonds" (insights formed over time and from being under great presssure) from the rocks and stones that hide them. Sometimes, all I see is rocks and stones - or even boulders.


Rarely is a "diamond" simply nestled, easily visible for plucking. Usually you have to break out the pick axe, and break a sweat, to uncover things of true value.

Todo bien. (It's all good.)
