diamonds begin as nothing. It takes a thick layer of rock deep in the earth, 100 miles below the surface. It takes heat from the core and pressure from above. All that heat, all that pressure force carbon atoms floating there in the nothingness to come together. The animals can form into hunks of modest black graphite, but sometimes when they bond in just the right way, when the connections they form are special, exceptional, extraordinary. That tangle transforms into something spectacular. A diamond. Soon the earth can't contain it. An eruption carries it to the surface where it waits. Hidden, patient, strong. Even once it's discovered, the diamond remains in the rough, it must transform again, and it can because its bonds are unbreakable. And so the diamond is appraised with care, sharpened by commitment, home, with compassion, validated by community. Only then does a diamond have resilience? Only then can a diamond shine.
