The Path is strewn with pebbles, stones, and boulders!

A Montana Reject and Proud Raving Lunatic

All of our life involves incredible risk. We begin by being protected from it by our mothers and fathers, and in the process of maturing, we learn to completely overlook most of it.

The trials of life can be compared to getting pebbles in our shoes, stumbling on stones, and having to figure a way around huge boulders blocking our path.

The pebble is small and really no more than a nuisance, and in this analogy is a metaphore for people who speak badly of us, dislike us without taking the time to get to know us, or take advantage of us.

The stone is larger, and can cause pain if we are hit by it or accidentally step on it. Stones are those who do get to know us, dislike us, and intentionally take advantage of us. Stones can cause traumatic emotional damage.

Boulders are huge and can crush us. Boulders are people, places, and things that should be avoided at all costs.

Later!
