Once upon a time there was this simple little white cup that just didn’t know her power. She didn’t know how special she was and what she could offer her owner. She always thought her job was just to hold the gemstones for her owner that was on her altar, that’s it. She didn’t know that she held a special place on that altar. She would learn how special she was soon.
One day the little white cups owner came home with a blue cup that was bigger and prettier than she was, and she thought, “oh no I am going to be replaced.”
“Just look at that blue cups, she’s so big, blue, and so pretty, and I am small, white and simple. Just look at her etchings on the side, I can never compete with that,” she thought to herself.
“Hello,” said the blue cup after the owner left the room.
“Hello,” replied the white cup ready to hate this new blue cup that was out to steal her place.
“Wow, I have to say you look wonderful. And look at the important place you have this altar. You must be really special to our owner.”
“Whhhaaaattt? What did you say? Special? Look wonderful? Do you need glasses are your etchings over your eyes? Look at me I am simple in design and white. How can I be special look at you blue and wonderful,” replied the simple little white cup.
“You don’t see your own beauty do you?”
“No, I don’t.”
“You are white and simple in design and will fit in any room and any decor, I envy that. You are at a place of importance holder of the element of earth and next to the great mother. And I sit one the corner as an afterthought. You are special because you are simple, you will always fit someone’s needs while I will only fit a few.”
“I never thought of it that way, thank you.”
“You are welcome.”
And that was the day that the little white cup learned she was special and being simple wasn’t a bad thing. She learned not to judge so quickly or harshly. She and the blue cup became great friends. The white cup keeper of the earth and the blue cup keep of water, together they helped the owner preform great magic. You see looks don’t matter but what matters is how you see yourself, if you see yourself as special then you are.
