A consummate diamond thief shadowed a man who had just bought an exquisite diamond intending to pluck it from his pocket.
For three days, the thief stalked the man, trying all the tricks of his trade to locate the priceless jewel and steal it from him, but to no avail.
Eventually, dismayed that he failed to find the gem, the thief blurted out his frustration to the man, and asked him how and where the diamond had been hidden.
The man replied: “Well, I saw you watching me in the diamond district, and I suspected you were a pickpocket. So I hid the diamond where I thought you would be least likely to look for it - in your own pocket!”
And there, sure enough, in the thief’s pocket gleamed the precious jewel he had sought to steal, not knowing all along it was already on him.
The paradoxical truth: the radiant jewel, the priceless treasure for which we search high and low outside ourselves is already closer to us than we might imagine, waiting for us to discover it, in the last place we would think to look.
Have a safe Xmas Holiday folks, Drive Safely.
