Last night.. as a matter of fact all week I've been up trying to prepare for an exam slated for tomorrow. I'm not good with figures. I have to give thanks for my good family support as I can be sure to get a call or two to check if I was doing okay, if I ate etc. It has been a struggle.

Any how......

Last night I was exhausted and like many nights when I can't fall asleep I got out of bed and did something I enjoyed. NAW not that thing that starts with S.. stay focus lol

I either do something like paint on a small canvas, a sand art, draw something then colour with pencil crayons, read a book, write a blog, rock painting or rock balancing. All of the above would be done while listening to some sweet old jazz music. I just enjoy some good old me time.

When I began rock balancing I had no clue what I was doing. I knew it existed and never thought it was possible. How the heck can someone stack a whole heap of stones without glue and they did'nt fall apart?

Approximately, 2yrs ago I decided to pass time. I decided that I was going to become one of the crazy people to try it.

Initially i failed. I failed miserably. I kept trying and trying.. nothing. Then I added the Jazz music and I immediately felt my body starting to relax and EVEN then still NOTHING.

I just flung the rocks in the basket which is kept by my room door and ignored them.

One day I arrived home from work. I was overwhelmed with alot of things and my mind was spinning 360 degrees. I looked at the rocks and I am sure they winked at me. SO I got dressed in some comfy clothing. took a piece of board i had and laid it on the floor. took a towel to mimick a grass pad and turned on some jazz. Got down on my bedroom floor and began #rockbalancing

One by one I began stacking. Base Stone.. Second Stone.. YES YES YES Third Stone and then it crashed to the floor. I smiled. No i ???????????????????????? and began stacking all over again.

While stacking I noted the following. In order to defy gravity i had to let go of self. In other words I had to let go of all the things in my thoughts and take myself to somewhere where the only thing that existed was myself and the rocks before me.

When I did this I was able to concentrate and feel the weight of the rocks hence I found the centre of its gravity.

We all have to find this inner balance and release at times. We live in a world where we more focus on the outter balance.

A good family life, a great job, a nice car and financial security. But even when the outer is complete the inner is the most important balance that we need in order to enjoy this outer balance that we work so hard to create. This balance deals directly with self. Yup It deals with self! Need I say more?

Otherwise we are like a bottle under a dripping pipe.

Find what you like and give it a try. You need to find out more about you than others and the best way is to push yourself to the limit.

Now I can stack up to 6 stones.. I am far from the level I want to achieve in #rockbalancing but guess what? I am also far from just begininng because I STARTED. :)

Eventually I will get there one rock at a time.

Have a Great Weekend!
