Please drive safely and watch for tractors !

Looks like we have some training to do for some new hires! lol

The first man reaches under the one-ton bale of hay and attempts to lift it off of me. Of course, it doesn’t budge. I blink. He yells over his shoulder to his f...riend, He’s alive! Help me move the hay. Even working together two people can’t move it not a fraction of an inch. A thousand pounds each? Of course they can’t! Cut the strings, I whisper. My voice is weak. They can’t hear me. I am not going to last much longer. If they will just cut the strings, the bale will break apart, and they can drag me out of here. Lift, Joe, lift! Just cut the strings, I mumble, Please cut the strings. We can’t lift it. We’ll be right back! I struggle to remain conscious. One. Two. Three. Four Where are they? How long for help to arrive? Where is the Coast Guard? Where are the Marines? Where is that one old farmer that would think to cut the strings? I grow weaker. Dizziness overcomes me and I begin to drift off into that gray space somewhere between the living and the dead. Help finally arrives. I do the math. Two big, strong cops and six burly firemen must move a ton of dead weight off me. That’s two hundred forty five pounds each. No way can they possibly do that but somehow, they do! They lower my limp body to the ground. Why didn’t they cut the strings? They could have saved a long, torturous hour. How heavy is hay? A piece of hay is about the weight of a feather. How many pieces of hay does it take to make two thousand pounds? Lots. That package of sixteen bazillion individual pieces of hay wrapped in a gigantic bundle is a crushing weight. But separated, it would have been nothing. I feel bad saying this, because it makes me sound ungrateful and I am very grateful to the guys who saved my life that night but there is a point to be made here. Is it too big? Is it overwhelming? Just cut the strings! Are you buried under crushing burdens? Projects to big? Schedules that are too complicated? Maybe you are trying to do too much at once trying to do everything instead of doing something. Cut the strings and cut yourself free. Do one thing at a time and get it Done! Move out of the strain of the doing and into peace of being done! #authorunknown #share See more
