Comfortable, just a stroll Flat level plain out before It never ends Just the same forever Struggle to step over a rock Clear it out of the way Side-step it, but it seems to move side ways as well A little rock Step over it Get it out of my way Carry it with me Kick it, OUCH, I stubbed my toe Turn and find another route But the ground behind me has disappeared Walk straight sideways There is nothing to walk sideways on Rock mockery Its fat and tubby Lazy deadening thing "Move jerk!" I eventually sit, there is nothing I can do Caught between a rock and nothing So how far down does this cliff go It must be hundreds of feet Black cloud rest on my shoulders I can't see Frozen I'm still sitting Something so obvious and simple to be on my way Toss the rock over the cliff? Screw this rock, about face, forward step Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purposes |

Wow. I was just thinking of writing another Tarot thing, when your title caught my eye... and I'm not sure if it was your intent, but this is what it brought to mind for me:  and smiling, here. It's a good card, if you let it. It can be full of adventure and hope--don't worry about the falling part either--angels who know better have done that for mere envy of our experience.  Much enjoyed!  |

Trust me, a few more years of experience and you will not have to side step that rock. [This message has been edited by Sunshine (08-24-2005 10:03 AM).] |

YES, a journey for sure, seems as if you have made a most wise decision. |

serenity, I hadn't intended to be a fool. I guess thats what it boils down to when instead of trying to make it around he rock and failing I steped over the edge. steve, I read your response last night about the girl thing, its nice to have gotten away from all of that. a learning experience... that darn rock! LeeJ, yeah like Whiley Coyote. littlewing, just get out of there before it rolls back on me.
