Boulders.
9 years ago
The way I see it, we all have our own huge boulders... And a chisel. We spend all of our lives chipping away at our boulders... And the result? For some a magnificent piece of art... One that is significant to them, and maybe to many others who they know. For others... They may never finish. Or they may look at what they have done, and think That's not right... How did it end up this way?, and hope to change their mistakes... Or not notice until it is too late.
For many, this boulder seems like a burden, or an insurmountable task. I know some times when I've felt this way about my boulder... But that's why we need to look at things, rather than as one BIG HUGE HEAVY task (the entire boulder, in all of it's menacing hugeness) as many, many, many small tasks, each of which is an achievement to be celebrated all in it's own.
Now what I'm getting at is... Sometimes life seems like it is full of these IMMENSE tasks... Or soooo many little ones that they all pile up and weigh you down.
Something I think that you should do is break these things down. Don't worry about ALL of it, or else you'll get bogged down with too much! Instead, do the little things to make these tasks smaller, and do what you enjoy doing for relief...
I want to make my boulder into a nice sculpture.

I've not really thought of it before, no... But I've dabbled in Psychology and Philosophy before, and that may kind of be a bit of where this is coming from...
