"What our eyes behold may well be the text of life but one’s meditations on the text and the disclosures of these meditations are no less a part of the structure of reality." -Wallace StevensTracings on a rock wall: ammonites,
swimmers in a lost ocean.
Unexpected beauty
bursting from a stony canvas.
Art for those with eyes to see.
"I have eyes to see now what I have never seen before." -Written in the late 1870s by a correspondence student of Ellen H. Richards. The student was learning through the Society to Encourage Studies at Home, which had been founded in 1873.

Hi Diane,
Beautiful fossil. I just blogged about the world's oldest rock.
I also collect heart shaped rocks.
From one lover of rock to another.
There is beauty all around us, from those who have eyes to see.
I am in awe that I could actually touch something that lived so long ago.
Those rocks are amazing, they hold romance and wonder locked in stone.
