Rock Balancing

Being off-balance sucks. Scattered all over the place. How do you make all the pieces fit together? Do you need all of them? Reevaluate. Identify the sources of frustration. There is a great disturbance in the Force. Yes, Master! Search your feelings. Oh, come on! How is that going to help? Sometimes they are valid, sometimes not so much. However, to find the source you got to do the deep dive and sort them out. What a better way to do just that than grabbing the sunscreen? What? Off to the beach! Okay...

Granny used to say “It’s the last beautiful day” once September arrived with chill crisp in the air. Not this year. It seems we have gained an extra month of summer. The first half of it at least so far. It was rather odd to be on the beach that day. Climate change? There is no denying the change unless you live under a rock and pay no attention to what is happening in the world around you.

_{That’s the spot! It almost looks like a sun clock with those other smaller rocks in a circle}
I wasn’t familiar with the rock balancing art much in the past other than seeing the stacks in posts usually about meditation or yoga. In my mind oh how hard could it be to stack some rocks on top of each other? Turns out, not as easy as it seems from the first glance and there are many ways one can stack them too. I would love to learn how to do the counterbalance thingy or how to create some weird shapes.  

_{Yay! My first stack ever!}
Second rock this is easy. Third rock yep a cakewalk. Fourth rock okay maybe not as the rocks nearly land on my foot. The more we allow frustration, anxiety, toxicity, anger or whatever else to cloud our view, control our actions, the higher the chance we will fail. As the rocks land, we try and try to build up, we can’t give in to frustrations. Only in a calm and patient state of mind, we can move forward in a healthy, sustainable, and balanced way. We are stacking our entire lives.
