From One Egg……

Sitting next to a dear friend in a room crowded with people from my past I tapped my foot nervously.  She did not notice.  Someone approached us and struck up a conversation by saying how wonderful it was to see my again and that it had been way too long.  They seemed sincere.  We chatted awhile and they departed.

To my friend I said “If they only knew that I feel like a little egg on this floor under everyone’s feet, one wrong step and they could crush me.”

To which she replied “No one knows that, so you’re good.”

Now, fast forward two days and a different conversation with another friend where people where encouraging her to accomplish all sorts of fantastic feats of bravery.  I watched her smile.  I watched her nod.  When the crowd cleared I told her my story about feeling like an egg.  I saw deep communication in her eyes as she told me that she felt the exact same way.  Here’s what I told her.

 “From one egg to another, you’re gonna be okay.”
