A Boulder Story

By Elisa Novick

Last week, I included a snippet of a conversation with a boulder and said I would post it in full. I haven’t before because it is not that easy to decipher. I’ve done very little editing, so you might have to run the information through your own understanding as I did.

It is unfortunate, but not all to the good that we can withstand tremendous onslaughts of pain and disturbance.
