A young woman walked a forest trail carrying a heavy heart. Her life felt stuck\u2014one problem after another, like rocks blocking her every step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frustrated, she sat down on a log beside a large, jagged stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy are you in my way?\u201d she shouted at the rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To her surprise, the rock replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m not here to stop you. I\u2019m here to lift you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you stand on me, you\u2019ll see a path you haven\u2019t noticed before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She hesitated\u2026 then climbed the rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From its height, she spotted a clearing filled with light, colour, and life\u2014a way forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tears welled up. Not because the path had changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But because she<\/em> had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That night, she sat in meditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And Spirit whispered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cProblems are not here to crush you. Poetic Close:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You are not stuck.
\n\n\n\n
They are here to teach you to rise.
With love. With grace.
One step at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
You are standing at the edge of becoming.
And the stone in your way?
It\u2019s your first step forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\naudio version:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
