Pink Grasshopper™ and the Metaphor as of 11th April 2018
They who stand out beautifully different, by accident or by genetics, can be a target.
This applies to any beautiful creature or species.
The beautiful colour that they are born with can determine their fate.
They either look the same as all beautiful others and they can camouflage with their surroundings, or they can be the beautiful who they are meant to be and shine in the beautiful colours that they have been blessed with.
Yes they are beautifully different.
Yes they have beautiful feelings, the same as all the other ones do, others who might hide in camouflage.
They don’t see any difference through their own eyes unless they have mirrors, only when they see the colour of their beautiful arms or legs that they might realise a difference.
They move around like all the others, and live in their own beauty.
They may feel that they have even more reason to work harder, to try and fit in.
They want to live, they want to eat, they want to jump and they want to play like all beautiful others.
So when they do get to stroll, and stretch across from leaf to leaf, let them have their beautiful moment in the sunshine or any other time.
Let them shine. Let them all shine.
Try not to be the gradual rotating shadow on the ground.
A shadow that seems to get bigger on the ground as it circles the beautiful little Pink Grasshopper.
A special and beautiful Pink Grasshopper who if they could speak might say with pride ‘I am, a Pink Grasshopper’
That is the beauty of who they are.
Don’t be the big bully like creature, the creature casting the big circling shadow.
Don’t be the creature, don’t be the predator.
Don’t make it possible to be the last one who sees but doesn’t understand, the beauty of the little Pink Grasshopper for the last time ever.
See the beautiful in the little Pink Grasshopper.
What would the green leaf be, without the beautiful innocent eyes of the Pink Grasshopper, looking up at you wondering if you were going to be a friend.
