ROCKS AND THE INVISIBLE


Rocks hold the invisible.
They have their history -
but most of the time -
they don’t tell their story -
except in cemeteries
and on cornerstones.

They have been around
for a long time. They hold
hot and they hold cold -
sometimes for a long time,
but you have to be in touch
with them to find this out.

Rocks hurt, crush, break,
and can weigh us down.
No wonder they have been
used for weapons from the
beginning of time. Remember
what Jesus told us that day, 
“Let the one without sin, 
cast that first stone.”**
