Rare is Beautiful

Diamonds are rare.
They are beautiful.
White tigers are rare.
They are beautiful.
Double rainbows are rare.
They are beautiful.

More beautiful than any of those, by far,
are those incredible souls who battle rare diseases.
Today is National Rare Disease Day.

The resilience on continual display
by these warriors
is a sight that will both humble and inspire you.
The tenacity and tenderness
so closely intertwined you cannot tell one from the other.
The voracity and vulnerability
joined at every intersection.

Fight on warriors.
You are beautiful!
