Pebbles, stones, rocks, boulders and bits of sand.
All the same, it's a question of size that
determines its name, its purpose, its use.
Rocks can break your windows.
Boulders can alter your path.
Sand can be the irritating grit in your sandwich.
A meal most of us would choose to ditch.
Pebbles smooth and small.
No grit or imposing size.
Pebbles are not large enough to stub your toe upon.
A glass of water not full, add a pebble,
raise the level
'til the top is reached;
if you keep going the rim will be breached.
Much the same our goals stand before us.
They loom large, high above the place we stand.
We focus our eyes, determine in our hearts and
fix our minds on a plan of action to ascend.
Along the way small factors, effective detractors,
join your journey.
Not road blocks or even small irritations,
but little things that must be
noticed, addressed and pushed past....motivators.
Pebbles with purpose; for every pebble in your glass
you will rise higher and just as
the water breaches
the brim of the glass
you will stand upon your
collection of pebbles, grab hold of your goal and
experience the elation of your achievement at last!
