Dues

Honing the work doesn't happen without contact with a grinding stone. In this case, the stone offers a clear look at how far you still have to travel. You want the work to be done. You are tired. Bone tired. So tired you can't get up. You have to get up. You have to lift your tools and get to work. The forces weighing you down are great, but this is the final push, and the line you are about to cross is where the real work begins.
