Probably a left over from my youth on the farm days. Having to pick rocks, pile rocks,… and I would wonder how every year, they would rise to the top to be noted and be found. I would admire their strength as they were used to build fences and foundations. I found simple joy and delight in the quiet moments of the stream of water bouncing over the rocks in the stream. I admired their diverse beauty as my family used them to build fire pits, decorate flower beds and do masonry work to decorate my grandparents home as to me it symbolized their steadfast wisdom, enduring perseverance and joyful approach to life.
So for me a rock is a symbol of strength, stability, energy and beauty. It represents struggles to overcome and provides a strong base for tranquility. Stones and rocks serve as a meaningful reminder of beauty in the world, the ability to be strong and ensure and they infuse me with inspiration. You can just pick up a stone and feel love and be happy.
