Deeds
By heinzs
Deeds shape our world. Action piles up on action like some monolithic brickwork. Without the benefit of mortar, the walls and monuments topple and frequently fall in the winds of time. Building begins anew atop the rubble. Some deeds create gigantic, solid blocks of stone that survive the strongest blasts and incautious whims of the ages. Others form lumps of sandy clay that disintegrate to dust as soon as they come into being. Then there are the deeds undone... unkept promises, actions delayed until no longer of any consequence. Omissions that form gaping rifts in the evolving wall. Some gaps so large whole Nations teeter on the precipice. We sit precariously on the bricks, adding to them with our deeds. Whether stone or sand, or empty space, we choose and place our blocks. How long they will last before they, too, join the toppled rubble depends on how well we build with them.
