Wow for someone who didn't know what to post. By the way, you are in the contest so I think you didn't miss the deadline. đź‘Ť
It didn't sound weird to me but I got something that I never thought of before. Your description of feelings when touching the stone gives me the idea that stone might really have some effects like gravity, memories, feelings or else. (Pardon me please, I am not finding a suitable word). You might know (or may be not). Muslims crave for kissng a stone, Hajr- e- aswad, in Holy Kaabah. I never got the philosophy behind it but now (after reading your reflections @samsmith1971 @sa) it makes sense to me.
Thanks to @dreemport that brought me to this thoughtful post.
aaah, what a great connection you have made there. I hadn't considered the Muslim connection before. We truly are a connected human race; we just need to open our eyes to the possibilities that connection brings as opposed to constantly seeing our difference🙏
Very true. After all, we all are the offspring of the same Adam and Eve.
