patience broken
yup ... in 5 big pieces ... interesting symbolism, huh?
Now now. let's keep it together. I can just see you thowing that down with a mighty heave....
not me DD ~ I think someone must have stomped it or drove a bike across it!!!
That is pretty ironic.
Maybe your patience just spontaneously exploded for no explainable reason. That happens sometimes, I've heard.
I've heard that ... maybe Zeus hit it with a lightning bolt???
Blame it on the swing....
the ghost!!! almost forgot about him!!!
Luckily I have super glue... LOL Totzaon
Life does seem to be all about putting the pieces back together, doesn't it.
I want the biggest piece and I don't want to share. That's enough to make you lose your patience.
I'd like to see the stilleto that stomped this baby into fissuredom...
....maybe you have more patience than faulty cement...yeah, that's it!
omg Sandra ... have you seen me gardening in high heels ... welcome to Wisteria Lane!
Maybe it just patiently cracked after years of sun and weather... : )
This was me after a week at home with 3 kids on spring break and my mom visiting at the same time...thank god for school today! Read your BRILLIANT link and you were right, really, really good!
I want to give that picture to my mother in a frame. That poor woman...
That is a tough one. But if that stone just has enough patience it will come together again and be one. Too bad the dragonfly kind of lost its body. But that can be fixed too.

I hope you enlarged and framed that picture, hung it over the front door. Better still, put it on a t-shirt, they'll sell like hotcakes.
Laugh.

Ah, crap. Reminds me of the fact that those plaster handprints you do in nursery school? When you're really tiny? And you scratch your name into them and paint them gold?

Yeah, well, Dad pulled mine off the wall and hurled it at my mother sometime when I was maybe 7 or 8.
Oh mother...regain sanity...............gorilla glue will fix it. It won't be perfect but who is?
Ah, been there, bought the t-shirt.
OMG ~ Sally's already selling t-shirts??? lol!!!
That is a great picture. You could make it the background for smaller pictures of your children (one for each piece).
i'm going with the Zeus theory. that guy had a terrible temper. love love love and RATED for seeming prophetic.
Uh oh somebody's in trouble. rated.
You mean you didn't buy it that way?
whoa, I would have had to do something to counteract that kind of symbolism just randomly showing up in my life. Did you?
If I had a stone imploring me to patience, I'd probably break the thing myself.
Lost it again, eh?
Mine too! Great photo, a classic.
"God grant me patience...and do it right now!!"

Hey, my favorite movie: "Five Easy Pieces." And I didn't kiss Dean on the lips for God's sake, but I admit I didn't sound real Dookie-like on that comment.
I think we can all relate.
OK, I see two things here:
1. looking at the darkness that is the crack, it appears to be a stick figure, legs open as if leaping and arms uplifted to the heavens, as if to ask, "Lord, what is it you want from me? I will leap gladly to your beckoning!"

2. On either side of the right uplifted arm, where once there was a butterfly, there are now two hearts, mirrored, as if to say, "Do not break with patience as there is your twin soul waiting on the other side."

I. E., See not a broken stone, rather see a new image in art and imagery, lending meaning to something uplifting, new and worthy of imagination.
That's one thing that is in short supply
Geez, that should be tattooed on my forearm!
I knew I shared some kindred fiber with you...and then I noticed your birthday is the day after mine. This explains a lot. I'm no astrologeek, but there's just something about us June babies.
You guys are cracking me up~ yuk, yuk, yuk~

I didn't do any type of cleansing ceremony, but if yesterday was any indication, I should have ~ :)
