A rock might not shine all the time, but it is strong. It can take a hit or two, it can survive through fire and ice.
So can a diamond, but the shiny allure of it can blind you. It can make you greedy, restless for more. Satisfied for now but never completely, as all you can see is the shine reflected in your eyes.
Can they be one or does one always have to choose, I wonder. To hold on tight to the rock that will last no matter what, might glimmer when the sun shines, it would be enough. Still, I might be content with the blindness, as it would be the most beautiful thing I ever saw.
I cannot settle for less than both, but I have yet to find one such a thing. Or then I have yet to see that I am mistaken and I cannot reach for something that does not exist. But how could I have been fooled in such a bittersweet way?
