The Rock
This rock is a reminder of where I once was, of who I
used to be, and of what I used to do. I have a picture of a bird on the tree in
the background. I was on top of this rock when I took that picture. Five years
ago, I couldn’t even hike the half of the mountain leading up to this rock. My
ex-husband had left me with 3 kids, multiple debts and I had a terrible
skateboarding accident that nearly killed me. I overcame. I hiked this mountain
and I climbed this rock. Two and a half years ago, my life got turned upside
down again. I was thrown into the position of taking care of my parents also. I
have forgotten how to sleep, how to relax, how to be myself, who I am, and how
to climb this damned rock. I came up here to clear my mind. I left the
fogginess in the clouds and fog above and in return nature reminded me that I
must face this rock until again I can climb it. And I will climb it.
