Dear Stately and Elegant Rock..

Your height and depth alone amaze me! How long have you stood stately and strong?
What stories you could and can tell! What a perspective on life you have to share.
You are a reminder to me of the very process of growth and life...multi layered over time with patience, persistence and perseverance. Aged and yet new!

Your vision takes in both the heights and the depths..and seemingly from all sides with few obstacles.! You appear dauntless!  Your strength surges up my own...thank you.

With your strength however, I also realize your vulnerability...as you stand high up and fully open to all the expressions of life in our world family...wind...water...sun...soil.. in storms and calm. 

You are not immune to change...no matter how dauntless you appear.  Each and all of us are part of a whole and are both nurtured and challenged by our sisters and brothers of all sizes, strengths and capabilities.  We are shaped by all we encounter!!

Your image has called to me for a while but I made a different choice. I've needed to take more time to ponder you and to see more than the exterior.  I know little about your stone family..but I am fascinated by the numerous and distinct layers within you!

What would you say to me dear Rock..I would appreciate greatly hearing your wisdom...thank you.

Dear Assunta,

I'm glad you finally chose to see me!  I believe I have much to share with you and your human family..

You and they can get caught up in the exterior of things missing the beauty and depth of those inner layers.

Each has a story...and you will only know those stories if you take the time to let them be revealed to you in the quiet of your heart.  That is also what you have run from...taking the time for quiet and going within.

You and your human family have many layers of stories to be revealed that can enrich and bless one another and... as you are discovering...we your family members of the natural world have stories and gifts to share with you as well. So many of you have lost your desire to even take time in the natural world.

You miss the joy, beauty and wisdom that we want to share so that you can be refreshed and renewed. We miss greatly, getting to know you and the stories of your many layers.  We have much to give and receive from each other.. Our outer beauty is only the beginning...when you look deeper you will learn more.

You say you are awed by my strength and I say to you that you have within you that same strength when you stay rooted in Love and Trust.

 I can hear your words of doubt and I say..it is true..take one step at a time..let go of the past that fed your fear and BELIEVE IN THE FULLNESS OF WHO YOU ARE...stay grounded in the power of LOVE THAT IS YOU and when the storms come you will be ready! 

Your afraid you won't be but you will.  You and your human family must choose...to be rooted in the LOVE that you ARE and let go of fear!!

In  the midst of all that is serious and painful,  Mother Earth wants all her children to keep their sense of humor!  Laughter gives us the strength to take the next so called  impossible step!  So come and be with us, laugh and grow with us.. we love you and we miss you!!

Dear Stately Rock, you have blown me away!  I thank you with all my heart!  I will think of you and what you have shared when fear trys to take hold of me.  Thank you and I love you.
