The Crystal Ball: Reflections on the Past, Insights for the Future

avatar
(Edited)

Glory fixed her gaze on the clear crystal, observing as it imparted knowledge about her history. During Glory's childhood years, she harbored a deep-rooted fascination for the fantastical recounts of magical crystals that were Passed on by her grandmother. Her grandmother had a Vast collection of these wondrous rocks

And employed them into so many things for her loved ones and the community at large; from curing diseases, to predicting future events through divination techniques. Upon passing away, all those precious stones went into Glory's possession - including a large ball-shaped crystal with really powerful energy hidden within its core.

As days turned to weeks, and weeks into months, Glory's grandmother's weird rock collection slipped from her mind. Not until she unintentionally encountered a crystal ball while rummaging through the loft one day. After wiping two to three small sized crystals, she noticed this particular crystal ball, which looked so charming despite being really dusty like the others...out of curiosity, she wiped it clean of dust too like she did for the others, with some reluctance fueled by doubtfulness on its efficacy though; Glory proceeded to give it a try only for what followed next left her in awe – colors swirled inside the previously dormant object now lit up like never before!

As Glory peered into the prismatic object, she was awestruck by its ability to depict glimpses from her past experiences.

A series of pictures unfolded before her eyes - a recollection of the house where she spent most of her childhood years growing up; a portrait mode image showing her grandmother beaming with joy and an array of flashbacks featuring moments shared with someone who had previously vanished out-of-sight for quite some time- memories of maternal figures that had since become distant.

Driven with an unwavering desire to unravel the mysteries surrounding her origins, Glory decided to embark on an Odyssey of self-discovery in order to establish contact with her mother. After making headway miles apart from where she grew up, Glory gradually got used to herself within unfamiliar environs and began uncovering long-buried secrets about her family’s history which carried the potentiality for being utterly divisive forces.

Glory's father and mother had parted ways when she was only 6 years old, casting Glory into the belief that her maternal parent had forsaken her . Venturing on a journey to go even deeper into her family roots, Glory encountered the stunning realization that it wasn't as simple as abandonment; instead, it was an act necessitated by the abuse inflicted upon her mom at the hands of her authoritarian father who cruelly mandated that his now divorced wife should never see Glory and her siblings again.

Upon rekindling her relationship with her mother, Glory embarked on a journey of Restoration and discovered the ability to forge a novel connection. Joining forces, they delved into their mutual adoration for crystals and used them as an instrument in remedying prior afflictions while establishing new roads ahead.

As they traversed the Complexities of their history, it became apparent that certain injuries are too Deep to be resolved independently. Friction between Glory's maternal figure and her paternal one hindered their delicate harmonious relationship significantly; surprisingly, this strong feeling of dislike still lingered in Glory's father towards her mum even after all this time had passed. To make progress, both mother-and-daughter shared a responsibility - an obligation indeed- to let go of any long-held grievance that had been bottled up over time by means of forgiveness as well as release bitterness from deep within themselves.

Glory acquired the skill to navigate her family's historical intricacies through crystals provided by both her mother and grandmother. Her obstacles were surmountable as she discovered how forgiveness and affection had healing power that could mend even profound injuries, while realizing that these minerals weren't mere fables but a tangible force in reality.

Thanks For Reading.

It's crazy how she didn't believe in the magic of the crystals and abandoned them only to discover them by mistake. The fact that one little mistake opened her to a whole new world of discovery is quite amazing.

Nice writing!🌹... I definitely learnt a lot of new words😅

One thing about inheritance is that one could never really tell what they they are inheriting until the explore. Glory was handed down something very amazing and valuable.

This was a nice read.✨ #dreemport.
