“Ultimately, a man is challenged and bettered by facing any task that exceeds his current
abilities. Some chose big stones. Others drive past or traverse such challenges…pity.”
Steve Jeck, Author: “Of Stones and Strength”
To lift a heavy stone is to reach back into history. To lift a heavy stone is to stand with
men of might and muscle. To lift a heavy stone is to become a man. For centuries, tribes
and communities would test themselves against nature by uprooting and lifting heavy,
awkward stones. They saw this as a way to prove themselves as men. To take on the
most ferocious being known: Mother Nature. Nature formed these stones. Nature placed
these stones. And, these stones lay in wait, daring the toughest to step up and try their
might. Is there anything better?
