Rocks


This was my favorite rock formation. I loved the fact that the three pieces, mesas? cliffs, thingies had all taken the same shape while being separate. I was amazed by the symmetry they began the same and then were eroded and shaped and carved by the elements. Sun, rain, wind, cold, leukemia. At first glance they could be called the three sisters, one not much different from the other. Closer inspection reveals subtle but definite differences.

I guess Gwednolyn Brooks said it best in Boy Breaking Glass

"Each on other
is having different weather"

We all start out the same and little by little by the elements shape us, we are similar but the end result is very different if anyone cares to take a closer look.
