Venture #2 | Life Like A Rock | Chase Ferguson

Less than a half mile away sits an incredible huge walk wall. Where did it come from and why does it sit there? However after closer observation it appears not to be sitting but leaning. I wonder if it once stood straight and simply got tired of it. Like each of our lives it has a story to tell.
It has beautiful colors to show its’ diversity. The shades of red and orange that face this cliff are so deep no human mind could have created them. On the edges of the cliff are white streaks. Like many of us after years of stress and life’s weather beating upon us causing our edges to turn grey or white. Years of erosion have caused this cliff to take on its’ own shape. It is interesting how cliffs and mountains vary so much with geographical location. Even while in the same location you can never find two that are exact. And so it is with us. We all come from different walks of life and no two of us are the same. The erosion has also caused many cracks on this cliffs surface. I’m sure each tell its’ own story, some go deeper then others. Like an old persons’ face tells a goofy story as their wrinkles crinkle so does this cliff. And yet it seems that wisdom comes with these gray lines and cracks.
Should we go through so much trouble trying to shade and shelter ourselves from life’s storms? I have yet to find a cliff build a wall around itself or apply wrinkle cream to its surfaces. To me I think beauty comes with wisdom. So like a rock I’m going to stand up strong for whatever life throws at me.
