In a beautiful seabed by a secluded small tropical island, live these two clams. They are pearls clams, the type of clams who can produce pearls. They are talking to each other.
“Uh why don’t I feel good today, the inside of my body itches badly, like some sharp piece tearing me from inside,” says of the clam.
“Oh,” the other clam looks at her friend sympathetically. “It’s a grain of sand, it enters your body and nested in your softest inner part.”
“I don’t like it! It hurts me! How can I get rid of it?” cries the pained clam
“You can’t, it will stay with you for a very long time,” answered her friend.
The clam with the grain of sand inside her cries loudly. The sand really hurts her, it sits indeed in her softest inner part. Anything she does to expel it just makes it grazes deeper into her tissue. After a couple of days trying, she gives up. She learns, painfully, to try to accept the grain of sand inside her. She cries many nights for the pain it causes her. But after a while she surprised that she has grown used to it. It still there, she can feel it, but it hurts less and less. Until one morning she wakes up and realizes the grain of sand has become a part of her. And somehow the pain makes her stronger, she experiences other pains after the sand grain incident, but they don’t bother her too much anymore, she had experienced the toughest with the sand grain.
A couple of years later, the clam is pulled out of water. She’s opened, and they find a very beautiful pearl inside her. It’s big, shiny, and have the purest white. People are mesmerized by its beauty. They bring it to the king, and the king loves it so much, he decides to put it in his most honored regalia. And so the pearl becomes most regarded piece of jewel in the entire kingdom, and it is descended to generations of kings and queens for many many centuries. The clam herself gets as the same honor, she’s placed amongst the kingdom’s most treasured ornaments in the palace, where a lot of people present their honor to the clam which produce the most beautiful pearl.
The clam had pained yet endured and then ultimately rewarded for it. Sometimes when a grain of sand enter our softest part and pains us a lot, let’s try to endure and make the best of it. Sometimes it is necessary to pain, who knows, your grain of sand is on their way to become the most beautiful pearl inside you.
Let’s all think happy thoughts today! :)
