An extraordinary review of perspective. I understand the 'rocks, sand, pebbles & water' much better after years--decades!--of life experience. I like the aspect of accomplishing the things that your entire being is drawn to, for resentment is so corrosive. But also allowing malleable moments that life's realities throw at you is priceless.
I've found that those 'throwaway' times often are crucial pieces of 'equipment' that I need and wouldn't otherwise have acquired. Allow for rhythm and patience. There are gold nuggets in taking a minute, literally, to pay attention to some small upset child, to look at people around you and recognize familiar expressions, to let your mind catch some 'butterfly' of inspiration rather than chafe at that red light.
Patience has been hard for me to learn, but it sure is a virtue. Sometimes time seems doubled or tripled when patience is applied.
These pieces are a reminder to me as much as anyone. I still struggle to live what I have outlined, but when I do, I rarely regret it. When I fight the water, I almost always do. It's hard to go against the tide.
