There once was a man who looked but couldn’t see. He was smart for he studied constantly.
But for all his knowledge, he couldn’t see.
He couldn’t see what life was. In all his studying he lost sight of what’s important. Sure he knew math, and science, stars, and even religions.
But what he found in studying he lost in
Life.
He lost what life was and what it could be,
For He was the man that looked but couldn’t see

The man with sand in his eyes.
There once was a man that loved the beach. One day at the beach he got sand in his eyes. Now this sand irritated his eye so much he could not see. Do you see? Even something you cannot see can cause you so much pain.
A Man with a Pebble in His Shoe.
There once was a man with a pebble in his shoe,
Everyone told him not to worry about it.
It was just a small pebble they’d say,
And to leave it alone because taking it out would slow him down.
So he left it in at their behest.
After a week, the man could no longer work because the pebble made his foot swell and he could no longer wear his shoe. Because he could not wear his shoe, he could not work. Because he could not work, he could not afford the things he needed.
His friend, seeing how far he had fallen,
Offered him some advice. “Please take the pebble out of your shoe, dear friend, it has turned into a Boulder.” See no one but himself and his dear friend could see the pebble was actually a Boulder. Everyone else saw only a pebble.
He took the pebble out of his shoe because he knew his friend cared for him and he trusted him.
He got better and went back to work.
Now when someone else at work gets a pebble in their shoe and is told to not worry about it, the man tells them to learn from his mistake and fix it, because when others see pebbles, it might be boulders.
First Time Blogger!!!!
Hi! I’m Charles and this is my first foray into the world of blogging, or really any time of online message boards, threads, anythings really. I apologize ahead of time for errors that may be present now or in the future. I hope to be writer one day. Writing what I think about is easy, editing is not. I am currently in college to become a 4-12 grade English/Science teacher. I want to be as mobile as possible with everything so I’m sure there are countless shortcuts and countless more techniques I can employ to make this work well for me. I enjoy talking about pretty much anything. It’s a skill that took awhile to acquire for sure, with TONS of patience, but having a good conversation means a lot to me. Please, take time to read my writings, respond in kind and offer any advice if possible. YALL have a BLESSED DAY!!
