riverstones
round, smooth, unique
magical
why?
rock, stone, starts out split off from the Big Rock, the Big Stone,
and it's rough, jagged, sharp, unweildy. It splits into smaller rocks,
smaller stones, and continues its journey from the Big Rock, the Big
Stone, down the mountain, up from the depths of the Earth, onto the
land, into the water.....
in the rushing, flowing water, it knocks against other stones, other
rocks, all pieces of the Big Rock, the Big Stone, and in the process
the rough edges are worn smooth
until all that is left is the *same* rock, the *same stone*, unique in
shape, color, and unrepeatable, but rounded, smooth, delightful to the
eye and soothing to the soul, comforting by its very age, its being,
wise in the One Story it tells of countless years, eons, knocking
against larger rocks, other stones, resting in the flowing, rushing river. The unique shape and color remain, the *core* of the stone is intact, and the outer surface (shell) of the stone speaks of peace
magic
*Riverstones *All
one within the Big R
