Lovely job, Willofree!

This could go in a book of riddles.
You know, the kind that say,
I am this, I am that, what am I?

Is this a metaphor for humanity?
I'm dying to know exactly what it is...

Keep 'em coming, Willofree! : )

Different stones/boulders in representation perhaps of we as humans?

"Each stone contained a multitude of blemishes,
although there was beauty in its imperfections"

I liked that line...Will, good stuff here. Thanks for sharing. Always a pleasure to read you.

Peace and hugs,
Laura

Ah Will ... so much to contemplate in here, my friend. It's gorgeous in its magnificence--
not unlike a stone fence. This reminded me SO much of my childhood, spending summers
at my grandparents far up north. Stone Fences as far as the eye could see .. some man
made and others created by nature. I loved the landscape they created.

I love Laura's analogy about humans and stones. Alone they are each distinctly
beautiful, but together, don't they make for a breathtaking sight? And the
more they stand together, the stronger they are, no?

Beautiful write, Will. Thanks. :) I adore how your writes make me ponder a while ...
