It's the mountain versus the spoon, you know. The work may never be done, and in the effort, we falter, as each action builds upon the next without much movement at all until finally, on our knees, we relinquish. That's when it's hardest to get back up and retrieve the spoon, but if we wrest enough strength from inside, aided by outside, we may find it was a ladle in our hands, for once.
