A unicorn is a mythical figure that is generally depicted as a white horse having a long flowing mane and tail with a single spiral horn in the middle of its forehead. Unicorns are known for being amazingly beautiful, very rare and quite difficult to catch.
Because unicorns are so mysterious, they are often misunderstood. They are different than the norm and their uniqueness can even be considered threatening at times. Rarely do we even attempt to follow one, or be schooled in their ways, to understand their lives. We are fearful of what appears different and are unsure of how to approach them. We anticipate that our gestures might be offensive and frighten them away so we make no attempt to be near.
In this world of diversity, we are all unicorns, wanting to be approached, wanting to be understood. Take time today to pursue the unicorns in your life. Appreciate the magic of each individual. You may be surprised at what you might find.
Seeking Unicorns,
