In reference to one that brings comfort, it's not uncommon we'll hear (or even say) "X is my rock". By the grace of some higher power, I'm lucky to have several "rocks"in life. There's one in particular whose ability is far beyond words...even for me. ;) Most of the time she silently swoops in, and takes over the job of my spinal column. My "Rock-o" helps open my mind up, so that a bigger picture is clear...rather than just helping me get through the day. She walks through the world with brilliant confidence, grace, gentle force, remarkable beauty (illuminated from the inside out) and in her wake leaves trails of smiles, relief, feelings of love and healing. If ever there was a "Goddess" it would be her. The fact that she teaches others how to utilize these traits in themselves, is amazing. Likely she'll admit, just as I will, that yes, we do drive each other batty. However, bottom line? Well, hey, she's my rock...she rocks the modern world. And I'm grateful every day of my life that she's willing to be apart of it.
She happens also, to be my sister.
