Kicking Up Stones

The walk down freshly gravel road kicking up stones seeing how far they roll. Note a huge ox cart pulling heavy load of dried kindling and dark black coal. The ox cart struggles over new laid stone with its immensely oversized cart lade. Oxen soon tire as they heave and moan kicking up stones on the downgrade. Copyright © 2011 By Caryl S. Muzzey

Caryl, I see the "ox cart" as a metaphor for mankind. So many people carry heavy burdens. Well done. Congratulations on your success in Rick's contest! Love, Carolyn
