this piece really inspired me. i regret to say i have no clue who painted it...so i can't give them the credit they deserve.
my title: 'the only way to eat an elephant' reminds me that even though life and all of it's parts seem huge...and extremely overwhelming. i can function without stress if i take it one 'bite' at a time.
so...in my mind...an elephant symbolizes the things in my life that are bigger than i am. which is just about everything. i could be completely paralyzed by the prospects of all i have to do and all i have to be...or i can climb on up.
these life elephants are a great vantage point from which to witness the beauty of all God is doing in and around us.
may you get out your ladder today...
I like that thought of climbing on top; I too could be paralyzed by fear; I need to take days sometimes in smaller chunks, like bites, rather than trying to tackle it all at once. I think I might need to get out a pretty long ladder some days :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you and yours had a nice day today!
