Stones are in almost every room of our home. Sometimes I wish I had labeled where I found them. If I pick them up again, it’s easy to see why I selected them on the first place.

Often it’s the color, shape, texture, or how they fit I my hand. But now and then they are sculptures, still bringing me joy. I’ve one with an oblong shape that has a small curved line near one end. It gives the rock a “mouth,” which changes from a frown to a smile as I turn it.

It helps to remind me of my role in how I approach my day, my life.

I suspect if we asked folks to come visit and bring their favorite rock, all of us could arrive with at least one, ya know. Or maybe I am just coincidentally drawn to folks who touch the earth. Who need to gather and bring it closer.

Thanks, Kilroy.

I love this. What a great find -- a stone that can smile or frown, depending on how you hold it. Who needs a mood ring?

I think my most recent acquisition was one shaped like a heart. It's just a gray stone like millions of other gray stones you find on the beaches around here. But shaped like a heart. How cool is that?
