Chunky Bitsy Crumbs of Bashfulness

Analogies are great for describing things, arent they? Simple, complex, far-fetched, head-on, regardless, analogies are still great for creating controversies or corridor topics. Fashion this. Life is like little creations of sand castles. Each life with a unique illustration of their own sand castles. Their own renditions of heartaches, sorrows, happiness and joy. Some built on a broad base. Some built tall and narrow. Some are strong and sturdy looking. Some defined, some warped. Along the way, exposure to weather elements put these castles to test. A challenge against spirit, against fundamentals, against foundations. As imagined, the tall ones are usually the most susceptible to destruction. Simple and broad based ones are those that outlast the rest. Even so the spirit to reconstruct shouldnt be oversighted. Tall castles are vulnerable but with a determined spirit, they can be rebuilt. The pursuit of quality and personal standards versus the acceptance of environment resulting in the reliance on convenience of simplicity. What's ideal? What's worth? More importantly, shouldnt we take comfort in the knowledge that ultimately, the sands will still erode and we arent losing anything anyway since they are all around us? In the end, all seems inmaterial. But the memories of construction and re-construction etches deep in the very sand grains of fundamentals - love, passion, spirit. It is the intangible that is most valuable. As the walls of sand erodes with the passing of a bashful streak in personality, a refreshed life is re-constructed; a brand new meaning carved into the very grains of fundamentals.Build, collaspe, rebuild, collaspe, rebuild again, anyways. These are words of wisdom. A fight against odds is nonethless a fight and denying any acceptance of ill fate.
