Concrete

Concrete isn't even concrete. Ever heard of a jack hammer? 
There are things in life that I don't want to be obliterated into bits of rubble 
And here lies a problem...
We label things like family, friends, religion as "concrete" and we think that's that. Concrete is strong and hard to move, but not impossible. 
Let's talk about really sure things. Like Mount Everest or the ocean. 
Immovable.
As I write I can't help but have to accept the fact creating a love or a friendship or a belief as strong as a mountain that has been around for 60 million years is not an easy task. 
It takes time and effort and repetition and work. 
So maybe families do fall apart sometimes 
And friends fade
And people waiver in what they believe 
But you create your own concrete in life...and ironically you could also be the one holding the jackhammer
