All of River and Crystal

For anyone who thought women could only think in circles… Well, you’re probably right, but besides solving complicated math problems and calculating your EMI s, have you ever tried solving out about 3 feelings at one go? Women can do that. :)
I know of one amazing woman… Who is made of all things contradictory… And perhaps even she does not know… The beauty that she brings out being that 7-dimensional rubix cube. She can make out all the reasoning from within, but its not very apparent from outside… Hence it is good to have a ‘Handle with care’ hung in your mind when she comes to mind… :)

The best part about her is an eye that is shockingly discerning for her age… She has a river inside… A river of beauty and faith… that has the strength to look at everything in the World and still see it as beautiful… No matter how many hurt she sustains… No matter how many times her spirit is thrust aside by the winds… Fragile though she looks, she’s made of hard crystal and icy storm you see… God Help you if you mistake it for foolish optimism… :) It is a kindness and temperament that has survived the fiercest fires someone of that age can walk through… That river inside can extinguish any fire. :)

I am someone who has had trouble sustaining the flow through these fires… From experience, I can say it is the kind that makes you shed blood for…

That is why I say… She is so strong… A stunner to look at… A combination that never fails to catch the eye of so many… But it is nothing compared to the Courage that is shone from within… You see, there is no greater strength than that of sustaining courage when worst hit… When everything seems to crash back at you… To bring out some of the best things from within... Like tolerance, will and Hope… She has done it. When a girl with the kind of conscience she has… Can crumble and give in… She has come out looking as fresh and soft as a flower… As pristine as her smile. :) That kind of effervescence can come out only when there is a very great degree of sacrifice being shown… during a period of extreme tests.

How do I know? Because I’ve seen it happening from her shoulder. I’ve seen her face everything in life with a full face and full heart. How many people do you know that’s done that? For when you do that, you face the danger of getting hurt… Of risking everything you know for the sake of experience. She has done that. Alone. And her shoulders are still light… Not out of a frivolous mind… But out of an understanding… Of the choice-consequence relationship… That there is nothing more important than going on.... continuing to do what your heart says… And believing in it, no matter what… To me, there is no greater courage.

No greater achievement. No greater understanding. No greater gift to give. No greater strength.

Im so proud of her… All river and crystal…

My Sister is indeed some Woman! :) I love her.
