The Solid Rock: Other ground is sinking sand

by Olive Rose Steele, Jessica Hope Beatrice Laing (Photographer), Patrick Buchanan (Photographer)

Throughout THE SOLID ROCK (other ground is sinking sand) I reference Stuff. What is Stuff? Stuff is physical and metaphysical; it is the mental clutter in our heads and the physical clutter around us, it is relationships, good and bad; it is negativity, ours and others'; it is bad attitude, ours and others'; it is prejudice born of hurt, malice or belief-system; it is 'baggage' from our past that we lug around in life. All of us carry similar yet unique 'stuff'.

In Part Three, I write about Our Stuff. I remind folks that all of us—you and I, deal with different versions of the same challenges. Here I show that Our Stuff goes beyond just My Stuff and Your Stuff. It involves the stuff of people we don’t even know: other people’s stuff that somehow morphs into our space and impacts our lives in a significant way. Here, again I tell stories of such challenges that put us on a guilt trip, feeling responsible for other people’s stuff. I give examples of how our stuff intermingles with the stuff of others.

In conclusion, I challenge you, reader, to literally evaluate the ground on which you stand. I pose engaging questions for your benefit. I sincerely hope that as you work through the exercise, you will take a closer look at your stance on the stuff discussed in this book.
