Balancing the stones of life.

After having a few beers in a bar in Tenerife while watching soccer game and working on the images from my Masca walk at the same time i came over these... and then i could not help but hear a couple next to me cursing how hard the life is, how many times both of them have been hurt... and i thought...

Each and everyone of us had or have difficult stretches in life, sometimes they are really hard and hectic, but we keep fighting, we keep building. Something like balancing these stones....

We keep adding pieces, finding the ones that fit. Starting from bigger boulders and adding smaller ones once we establish the base.

And like it was not hard enough by itself, life sometimes goes sideways or to a tilt threatening all the hard work we have put it and ruining everything we have built.

It is obvious that nature has some certain rules and patterns since we can find so many similarities with us.
We are a part of the nature after all and have to play according to it, no matter if we like it or not. Once it's been stumbled and stones scattered apart some of us give up the others start over.

I say never give up. Never. It is hard for everybody. But winners never quit.
