@creating #tdc5027 #ds106 #writeout Interview with a Rock.

“Tell me, Mr Fossilized Mudcracked Sandstone, what was the setting like on the edge of the retreating Triassic sea?”

“From my vantage I could only see up to thick cover of a ginkgo and cycad forest.”

“Any critters?”

“It was literally crawling with reptiles, some flying.”

“And when the sea receded?”

“Sigh, I try not to think of that. Worry was in the air. Fear. Uncertainty. Don’t ever think things are fixed.”

Me: Hello, stone.
Rock: You can call me Rock.
Me: Like, The Rock?
Rock: No. Not that guy. Just Rock.
Me: Ah. No article. Rock, what's the best part of your day?
Rock: In late morning, when the sun is bright, and I absorb the heat and light. I feel connected to the universe.
Me: Wow. That's deep. What's the worst time?
Rock: When the neighborhood kids kick me down the street. I lose my sense of place. I like to be rooted.
Me: Same.
