the wise nun

One of my oldest dreams.

I was looking in a great pile of sand for some rocks to tear down a very big wall. A group of nuns passed by and one of them stopped and asked me what I was doing. When I explained why I was searching for rocks, she told me I wouldn't succeed unless I dug deeper. Because, she told me, the biggest rocks which were needed to tear down the wall have to be dug for with great effort.
