I have always collected rocks…it’s kind of a wierd collection…not your typical collection for the sake of having valuable rocks. Rather, I collect rocks based on memories of that moment in time.   I started doing this at a very early age.  For whatever reason, there is a connnection.  I was praying for healing of my heart last year from a relationship that ended…well, I was by a small creek in colorado that morning and looked just into the water edge at the rocks and there plain as could be was a small black rock about the size of a nickel and it was shaped like a heart.  Later that day, my son and I were hiking a trail and came out at the beginning of the same creek…we were kind of just playing around in the water, jumping along the rocks and I looked down and again, plain as could be, there was another heart shaped rock almost exactly like the one I found that morning.  Funny occurances like these happen frequently.  Last October, I went to the Wichita Mountain range in Oklahoma.  I scouted a mountain that I wanted to hike up.  Before we left, I was talking about bringing my two kids to see this beautiful land and I set off to look for a rock to take home as a trip memory.  What I found were three round rocks, one large about the size of a mini-basketball and two smaller ones about the size of baseballs…these rocks just seemed to have been plopped right in that spot…there were no other rocks of that type or size there.  It was the oddest looking thing really…almost like a momma and her babies.  Maybe I just try to read too much into things sometimes or maybe my brain is just warped enough.  Either way, I am taking an Earth Science class this summer semester and have realized that I really enjoy this class…so far, rocks-minerals-mountain building, all very intriguing to me.  Maybe I’ve just found a passion for earth science.
