I stood at the base and gazed in awe and wonderment at the peak of this mountain I was about to conquer.  One week’s journey had I traveled; through grassy meadow and over city sidewalk did I tread to get this far.

After several moments of contemplation the realization hit me:  “It is unattainable in this short time.”

Child, you must remember you have the power.  The tools and training have been provided to you.  There is no one else, but you.

“I cannot ascend this behemoth.”

No, ascend you will not.  You will bring it down; bit by bit you will bring it down.

“It will take forever!”  I protested.

No; not forever.

And so it was the day I brought down the mountain.  Piece by piece did I bring it down.  Separating each according to its kind:  dark, white, and colors; each sorted according to its kind.  Then I washed them.  One load after another I cleaned them.  Hot for whites and towels, cold for colors and darks, in the gentle cycle I washed them.

I brought down the mountain.
