I wondered from afar if the rock would be smooth enough to paint and draw a design to go along with my other kindness rocks around the house. As I got closer, I noticed it glistened. As I leaned it to pick it up, I realized with a sense of total panic that it was… Read more

The title being in all caps is the reality of the disturbance in my head…I steal the term, disturbance, after hearing it used by a tv weather guy.
