too many rocks

a photo in a magazine
a huge bearded man lifting large boulders,
clearing an area to grow a garden
he was once a bouncer in Athens,
now,
he is a monk on Mount Athos in Greece,
this was his quote,
"Too many rocks" he grunts,
"Like my sins."
we should all cling closely to saints..
to those who know they sin,
to those who hate their sin,
who struggle to love God and neighbor
i know i need to do this..
