In the hotels one stays at while traveling, most have a restaurant or breakfast area available for guests each morning. The usual fair of breads, waffles, juices, and coffee are available. Many of these places also have an assortment of donuts. These donuts are of the usual fare, round cakes, so with with sprinkles and others with frosting.
Normally when it comes to donuts, you can either get a standard donut or remains of the hole. Those remains are also known as donut holes. For some reason, you never seem to see both together in the same place. I always wondered why the two are never seen together on the same table. Then again, maybe I let my mind wander off too far sometimes!
When I have seen the two on a platter next to each other made me think about each of us and what is inside versus the outside. Just like the donut, there are many types of people. There are peanut covered ones or colorful sprinkles all over them. There are the plain cake donuts and cream filled ones. There are so many varieties to choose from and sometimes you just never know what you might get until you find out more.
It is the "something" which is inside each of us that truly defines who we are. It is said when you get squeezed with stress or conflict, what comes out is who we truly are. When people see you, the one with sprinkles or powdered sugar, the unknown part is going to be the donut hole.
The donut hole is the part others do not see, the hidden or missing part of a donut.
We keep the donut hole which is whom we are inside, hidden from others. You normally never get to see the two together, side-by-side. But once we reconcile the two and we become comfortable with whom we are, both are revealed together at last. Side-by-side on a platter for the world to see, you, a complete person.
Anyone for a coffee and donut?
Stay inspired my friends.
