Small Drips of...Success

A drop of water hits a stone. A few minutes later, another drop. This dripping continues for awhile, a day, a week, a month, a lifetime.....a whole lotta years! Then suddenly, one day, there is a hole, all the way through, and that hole shows that if you keep at it long enough, anything can be accomplished. And if you have been watching this water dripping on the stone for any amount of time, when you see the first drop get through the stone.....there is a feeling of intense exhilaration! And the sense that it really is time to get cable.
So it feels with the piles......the photos show an improvement....finally! Not done, the stone is still there, holier perhaps, but not gone yet. But the sense that anything is possible fills the spirit.....giving the strength to continue. On to tomorrow! (Please know that, as of today, I do not possess a stone with a hole in it, but if I did, I would hoard it!)
--------------------------------------
Note to those interested in odd things (like I am) - stones with naturally occurring holes have a fascinating Wiki article - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adder_stone
my favorite part- (these) stones were believed to have magical powers such as protection against eye diseases or evil charms, preventing nightmares, curing whooping cough, the ability to see through fairy or witch disguises and traps if looked at through the middle of the stone
Too bad they can't prevent hoarding!
