Uniqueness MAG

By Anonymous

Lockers stretch down the hall,
identical to one another.
One cloned from the other,
a never-ending cycle of similarity.
Although, undo the lock,
and each one is different.
No one quite the same as any other,
like a crayon box exploding over the insides
alive with the thoughts of each owner.
Though rarely do you ever see one reverted,
monkeys leap in my gut at how amazing a thing it is,
when it’s possible to see the beauty,
of the
inside out.

Wow--your writing touched me deeply and I am going to read your beautiful poem at my upcoming yoga retreat on "Celebraing our Uniqueness and Honouring our Oneness" and also at a teen yoga day where we are "Letting our Colours Shine Bright". I am a yoga teacher from Ontario Canada and I am inspired by your positivity!! :)

What a lovely way of looking at people. Especially young people who we often think all look alike because of trends. Yet we are all unique and special.

Thanks Abigail. I'll share this with my youth group.
