Rome Wasn't Built In A Day

I think I am mixing my metaphors... :-)

Huge undertakings, like planning and executing a middle school revolution (retreat) for 400 youth plus adults, when viewed as Everest-sized to do lists, are insurmountable. The scope and breath of the details is quicksand for the mind. Progress halts on all fronts.

But when you disassemble the mountain into little pieces, the stones, pebbles and rocks shift. Progress is made, greasing the wheels for even more progress. Slowly but surely the mountain moves.

Everyday in every way shift a rock forward; slowly but surely.
