the priority

in front of me is a jar...
reflecting transparent jar...
I have enough sand, water and stone...
want to fill all into jar...

I would never do it ...
if I start with water...
then sand, stone wouldn't fit....
or stone, sand would hard to get in...
nor if I begin with sand...
water could flow freely
but stone definitely won't go in...


stone should I put first...
the heaviest and biggest...
then sand slowly pour...
move into the porous stone...
then water anytime ....
I have to learn to think
before I move...
