From the mind of critic: “If moss can’t cover a rolling stone, is a stationary stone a sitting duck? Is it destined to be covered in thick green fibers, like so many neglected rooves? Is it simply just getting comfortable in its spot, because it sees its spot as the perfect foundation for moving into the future? Does the rolling rock not gather moss, because it’s constantly trying to find a new spot or any spot? Is the moss that grows when movement slows only detrimental, if the rock has no say in where it’s placed, and has no say in the type, density, placement and long-term tenancy of the moss? We can all grow stagnant when we aren’t moving forward, like we’re covered in a thick sludge that prevents any progress. This sludge can be chipped, wiped and brushed off by us or some other outside force. Now if we’re looking for the easy way out, we may wait for our angel to swoop down and clean us off, clear our path and give us a good shove in the right direction. That’s not to say it won’t happen like that, because it very well might. However, consciously waiting for something that may or may not ever happen is a fool’s errand, because that conscious energy we’re using to pull in some outside force, can be used to prime, start and rev the force within us. We don’t need somebody to clear off our moss, but we may need their help. We need to start inside and then move outside, that way we’ll be willing to accept help when we actually need it. Being stationary like being constantly on the move isn’t inherently bad, but if we’re afraid of using both skills interchangeably, and the balance they carry that we must have for a joyful and fulfilling life, we will grow moss whether we’re moving or not, and won’t have any say in why the moss grows. Respect for life, begins with respect for self. Always and never don’t benefit our vocab, they inhibit it. Being still isn’t bad, as long as we move strategically. A balances life leads to joy and success, specifically because we’re never all one way or all another.”
