This morning the mountain was covered in a glittering net of
jewels made by yesterday’s raindrops.
There were diamond earrings dripping from rocks and
sparkling bracelets wrapped around thorns and blades of grass. The pink petals
of the keurboom were encrusted with glittering amethyst, diamonds were threaded
onto restios and embroidered on the petals of a billion flowers.
A leaf had caught
a single emerald gem and there it sat glinting in the sun. Once you noticed the jewels, they were everywhere in their
glittering splendor. Yesterday’s rain
lingered and lingered, then turned into multitudes of jewels. And the
mountain shone.
