Gravity Rocks!


Rocks have personalities. There is something that calls you to certain stones on a beach.The shape, texture & feel of them in your hand instantly aligns you to mass and with it as you balance them one on top of the other - to gravity. All thoughts stop. The mind rests and allows the body to stack , balance and assemble as if in a dance. A gravity trance. If you are calm centered & patient, and if you allow the stones to fit themselves together as they want to , you end up building a sculpture. It is a great way to change a mood to access creativity and to do something different in the great outdoors, regardless if people see them or not , you don't really care. I have watched people walk right past them as if they were not there. Other people come up to me and stare.The next day they may be gone. Wind , birds , kids , a meteor on Mars. The impermanence of this art is a teaching not to get attached, but i can't resist taking a photo.
