Good morning!

These are the Callanish stones, on Lewis, Outer Hebrides. They were hauled upright around 5,000 years ago - making the construction older than Stonehenge. The tidal winds have, as yet, not destroyed them and they should be good for another 5,000 years.

The things which are looming in your life won't be around for 5,000 years - or indeed 5,000 days. Most of them will be gone (or on the way) in 5,000 hours. A lot of the immediate stress will be over in 5,000 seconds (a bit over an hour). And they won't be remembered by history.

I'm looking at you, USians. Be an implacable standing stone today (and every day). These clowns will be gone soon enough.

Alternatively, look at the lovely picture I took. Pretty stones.

A photograph of the Callanish stones, Isle of Lewis.

There are a number of upright standing stones in the photograph, which has been taken fairly close to the ground and into the afternoon sun. The foreground is green, unkempt grass and the background a mostly blue sky. The stones are actually arranged in patterns, but from this angle appear as a jumble.
