kaleidoscope woman

I know a woman who's like a kaleidoscope. What you see is never all you get. Turn her around, place her in a different light, and her pieces will fall into a new order, a beautiful arrangement you've never seen before, though you've been looking at her for years.I've seen people try to break the kaleidoscope over and over. They look at her and see this beautiful image, and they fall in love with the arrangement itself, putting her on a shelf where they can get up and look at that exact same picture again every day, having no appreciation for the thing that created that image. But stuck on that shelf, she collected dust, the light couldn't shine through, and they forgot what made her beautiful in the first place. So they took her down and shook her up, and in response she became something new. But they didn't appreciate this new work of art, not realizing they created it, twisting and turning, trying to put the pieces back the way they'd first come across them. It's impossible to do, and in disgust she's often been discarded.Beloved are those who can let go of the need to hold the pieces in place, who can appreciate the ability to change and become something new, who look forward to the view she'll give them next. There's no limit to what she can show you when you allow her to continue turning, holding her up in the light. She's like a painting always in progress yet always complete.
