Hidden amongst the weeds and wild flowers and concealed between the waters of life and the tomb of death is a rock. It is not a big rock but it is solid to the core. This rock has been a perch for birds, a warming place for lizards and a seat for the weary traveler.
This rock does not ask for anything for itself, yet continues to provide for others in any way that may suit their needs. One time, this rock sheltered a chickadee from a snake slithering past. In another instance, this rock absorbed the salty tears of a disheartened lover. On still another occasion, this rock provided rest to a dung beetle crawling through the grass.
Although this rock is not flashy, assuming or the most beautiful stone around, it continues to provide for those who choose to receive the wisdom of its gifts.
So, on that note, the quote of the day is:
“Be a rock to others who need some grounding.” tc
