The pearl

A pearl... It starts as a single grain of grit.... It has purpose. Mainly to become beautiful. Nothing eats pearls. It isn't used for fuel or nutrition.... It is simply or, rather, miraculously beautiful. It takes months of constant, intentional work to become a pearl. And the pearl does none of the work. The creator uses the agitation and location of the grit to make it into a pearl. How amazing....
It is obvious who the pearl is to me in this illustration. And I am aware of the creator's presence as this pearl is being created, formed and healed. And yes, that makes me the oyster... I'm ok with that.
