what is your unique ability?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for April 29, 2009:
I wanted to answer this question mostly because of how much I love reading through the answers of others. I loved how different each were, and how pure, and how true. I wish I could ask this question of everyone on the planet, and sit with them and listen, deeply, until they found what it was.
And my unique ability? Oh, it's hard to say; I feel shy and unsure even thinking about it. But the rest of you have been brave, so I'll try.
I have the unique ability to be grateful for anything, to point to the beauty and wonder and brilliant opportunity in any situation, and to see problems as steppingstones and challenges. I have the unique ability to trust the world with an unfaltering and wholehearted beatificity, and to know with a deep and unfailing certainty that whatever happens happens for the best. I have the unique ability to, without struggle nor a second thought, see the pain and fear that flows beneath the ugly scabs of hatred and anger. I have the unique ability to hold my beliefs lightly, and with playful bemusement. I have the unique ability to see any conflict from the point of view of all involved, and to delight in each perspective. I have the unique ability to write and to describe the world with far, far, far more eloquence than either my brain or lips would betray.
And I have the unique ability to see that none of the traits I've listed are particular unique, and to be so, so relieved that this is so.

…so gracious in your wisdom….eloquently unique……….
How true, none of our abilities or gifts are uniquely ours alone.
…and what a unique response this is, yet also bearing similarities with others. You write so eloquently for sure and yourpositive spirit shines through! Hugs, Siona!
Siona, as I read this, what comes up for me is that these abilities of yours, unique or not, trickle down to touch and enrich all of us who are in your world. They are your abilities and our gifts. Thank you! :-)
I agree- your abilities are uniquely yrs in the package that is Siona at Gaia; I've seen these at work time and again. It is a real blessing to have them here.
Hmm… from what I've seen, you have a unique ability to do cat herding without the cats launching organized revolts. Truly, I've never seen anyone make herding cats seem quite so effortless and elegant and… even enjoyable.
What a job you have, Siona - one of a kind. And you are uniquely qualified for it.
waterheart: Thank you. :)
awuso: Yes… though perhaps each combination or constellation is unique.
Mila: Hugs right back, dear you! One day I hope to collect one of those in person.
Tely: Oh, I love the way you put that–it feels to me that all true gifts have that same quality of benefiting both the 'giver' and the 'receiver,' if in slightly different ways. I've been seeing more and more of this in the world lately (that is, the understanding of the nourishment and value in being a giver, and in giving). It's a treat.
Meenakshi and Mascha: Thank you, my sweet pussycats. :)
Siona:
You have the unique ability to engender peace. Here on Gaia, you have brought so much love and patience to those of us who come here to be in this haven. Your ability to promote the beauty around you, and bring us all together is rare in individuals. There is a constancy in your words, and a gentleness of spirit.
We all think the world of you dear one.
With love,
Aley
Siona,
I can't wait for you to get more involved with the True Purpose work so that you can fully manifest your unique abilities! You are well on your way to stating your Essence. Thanks for being who you are.
In love, peace, and true purpose,
Marc
Simple & not complicated: gratefulness
Humility is unique in todays world. You encompass this trait and so much more.
