Round rocks are like people. They come in all different shapes and sizes. And while people can sometimes be as dense as round rocks, they are all worthwhile. Or at least they must be thought of in this way.

When I’ve pondered why some of my rocks are not round the way most of them are, I’ve quickly began to ponder why any of them would be round at all. Why wouldn’t gravity, for example, have distorted the shape of all of them? Sure, they formed in a chemical soup and were effectively “suspended” there as they grew, but doesn’t it seem a bit unlikely that rocks would be free of the influence of gravity? Well, I don’t know enuf about ancient geology to be able to doubt the word of the experts. (Common sense being, after all, the thing that tells you the world is flat.)

So I sit in my comfy chair and ponder my round rocks. There is so much yet to be learned. So much discovery I have yet to make in my 80+ acres. That gives me a warm feeling for the future.
