You are black coal, hidden beneath the surface of the earth; created through extreme pressure and dead things, black gold.
Our richness has been measured in the soil of adversity.
Many have said: that which makes us weak can only make us stronger.
We only feel weak due to the lack of sunlight and air. Be encouraged!
It is not easy to live covered in dirt, but the richness of the soil has nourished unseen flowers that will bloom in springtime.
