Glass bottles
Transforming fear into beauty.
I have a dear friend in America who was the victim of a very scary violent assault involving a gun. The assault was carried out by a boy she knew.
A few months ago, my friend was in a shop and came across the boy’s mother.
Filled with panic, not knowing if he would be close by, she bought a drink in a glass bottle ‘just incase’, and cautiously made her way back to her car.
Upon returning home to safety, my beautiful friend took the glass bottle - her defence in a time of intense fear and powerless…and turned it into a vase of flowers.
Her instrument of violence became a container for beauty.
She transformed her pain and terror, in an act that befits the pure nature of her darling heart.
Build the beautiful.
No moment is unsalvageable.
Tiny incremental shifts are happening the world over.
Something powerful is taking place.
When the violence comes, or the terror strikes, or the relationship turns malicious…just keep building the beautiful.
When darkness begins to creep into the lighthold of your spirit…just keep building the beautiful.
You’ll be whispering hope into the Universe.
