Box Building and Pole Hanging
Box Building and Pole Hanging
As metaphors for life and the challenges, we face.
Lost, lonely in the dark freezing rain
Found by caring stranger, holds on, never letting go until in a safe place
Warm soft, safe, caring, surrounded by people whose Job it is to help
When settled in, feeling safe and communication lines are open, explains the process of life as odd shaped blocks and Boxes , that must be fitted in there respective holes
Once a box is completed, it opens and you climb out feeling a sense of accomplishment and freedom
All of us are all in boxes that we make for ourselves
The difficulty of being young is like being in a small box
Success at small easy boxes is important to learn, that’s is why school is so important, Gives us time to grow
Sometimes we make a box so difficult, that it is almost impossible to do. Failure can have a devastating effect on some people
Other times life is like a pole that hangs out over a 1000 ft drop, we hang out there on the pole daring someone to notice. Many people can see us out there Family, Friends, Co–workers, still we stay out there for so long sometimes.
Hanging on for along time ignoring friends, family and those in our lives that help and teach us, to show how strong we are to them
Fingers slipping
Family turns away, cannot watch you fall
The crowd below is gone; they have seen it all before, you have hung out there so long they do not see that you are in trouble and that you want help that you need help.
Finally, someone noticed
They grab on and will not let go until your safe
Some friends help, some help only for a while, others take and hurt while they call you friend.
Are your friends helping and encouraging your box building or are you only helping them?
Did someone push you into hanging everything on the line every day you get up and out of bed? Do you want us to see you hanging there? Looking for a way out of the mess, you feel you are in.
