Oh, to struggling...

 

The Stone
 
There is a stone sitting on a ridge
A beautiful view, it hid
I pushed against that stone
Day after day
Wanting that view as my own
 
But never an inch would that stone budge
No matter what I did, not even a nudge
Finally I pondered that stone’s position
And following my great suspicion
I sat myself upon the stone
And then that view was my own
 
All that time I did waste
All that work done in haste
For some things in life can’t be shoved
So it’s better just to rise above

So true! We do tend to try to push the stones away instead of just climbing up on them. Thank you!
God Bless!

What a beautiful insight, Liz. Yes, like "the stone" that wouldn't budge, sometimes, the most important things in our lives are just there, waiting to be discovered; the most beautiful scenes are just there, waiting to be seen. Blessings to you.

Love,
Sheri

This is splendid, Elizabeth, just splendid...from separation and conflict to oneness and peace in a perfectly wrought metaphor.
