I have collected rocks most of my life. I can't explain it, they just speak to me. A couple of days ago I watched the Japanese movie
Departures which is about Daigo, a cellist. Daigo's symphony shuts down so he is forced to return to the village where he was born. A typo in a want ad leads him to becoming an a.nakanshi or one who prepares the dead for burial. I know this all sounds depressing. In many ways, it is. However, it's a wonderful and moving movie. At one point, he takes his wife to the beach where he finds a small rock which he gives to her telling this story. Before there was writing, people would look for a rock that shows how they feel and present to a loved one. A smooth rock could show that the person is happy. I won't spoil the movie by sharing more. I did love the idea and the story. I wonder what my rocks say about me.
They say that you are Pachamama's darling if the big black rock is natural with the coil on it. A oneinabillion found.
ReplyDeleteEva, No the coil was created by an artist. It is one of my few purchased rocks. I bought it in Philadelphia at the flower and garden show to remember my time with my friend Carol. Besides, it was just too cool to pass up. hugs!
ReplyDeletei thought it was a snail....
ReplyDeleteI thought it was the best find!!! I had to blow up the picture and get a better look at the black rock. I think it says you are cleaver.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments. I do love the rock and all of you!
