Poem #14: You Are a Precious Being

1/14/2018

1 Comment

 
I love Brene Brown and her book The Gifts of Imperfection. In it, she talks about a pervasive sense of inadequacy that has seeped into our minds and threatens our well-being. I have seen this phenomenon anecdotally in my interactions as well. I don't think I know many people who can take a compliment, just stand there and take someone telling them they are awesome. As if it's a painful thing, something wrong, to be avoided. As if the inadequacy is a frozen tundra we've been trapped in, as if we've all been standing outside in the Minnesota winter, -5 F windchill, and our limbs have gone numb and suddenly the compliment comes along, and it's the luke warm water you put your hand in that brings a rush of sensation that feels unpleasant, pins and needles waking up, but oh-so-good when it thaws. So, my poem today is a compliment. Just stand there and take it, and thaw.

It is in my belief, that we are all precious beings. If you ever feel like you are not precious, then just think of the family and friends that you have. You may not think of yourself as a precious person, but do not decide that for yourself. Life is not something that we deal with alone, it is a joint venture. I, personally, value everyone that I meet, I believe that we are all precious in our own little way.
