DROP THAT ROCK!
(FOR THOSE WHO GET CAUGHT IN THEIR PAIN)
A man is swimming across a river and
in one hand he’s holding a big rock.
As he nears the middle of the river,
the people on shore can see the man’s in trouble.
He’s choking and sputtering.
“Drop the rock!” yells a man on shore.
“You’ll be able to swim better.”
Still the man in the water holds on to the rock.
Everyone on shore who is watching
can see the man is drowning.
“DROP THE ROCK!” the people shout.
“DROP THE ROCK!”
Finally the man turns and with his last breath says,
“I CAN’T. IT’S MINE.”
(Are you holding on to a rock that you need to drop?
How often do you pick it up, examine it,
and make yourself feel miserable?)
