Not everything that can fit in the palm of your hand is worth holding.
Remember that when people place things there-Hands, diamonds, money, keys,
broken pieces of glass, remnants of past lives,
and shards of hearts once worn on sleeves
-you are not supposed to close your fingers around objects.
Sometimes they are just warnings,
not to touch.
Sometimes they are the tests
that determine character,
other times a sign
that you are ready for something bigger.
Learn to be patient, learn to keep that hand open. Learn to wait.
The things that are worth holding do not come first. But they do come.
Don't let them fall because
you are holding something else,
something useless, false and tainted.
How will you know?
You will know when that thing or person comes
and stays knowing full well all of thing other things you've held on to.
