Last night I read a fabulous post, "Rock Watching for Beginners", over at The Uncarved Block. It is both hilarious and insightful. It will be added to my Tumble Log. Here's a snippet:
Check it out -- you'll be glad you did!For some its the thrill of Bird Watching. For others its spotting butterflies, trains, mushrooms or rare Spider-man comic books. Each to their own.
But for those seeking the very latest in slow-pastimes; the very latest in meditative moments and inexpensive home hobbies then the time is right to try your hand at Rock Watching.
Its not necessary to go out and buy binoculars, multi-pocketed waistcoats with brown or green colour schemes or to hide in reed bushes for the appearance of flighty beaked animals. Rock watching is far more substantial and demands none of this hanging around and waiting business.
With Rock Watching, you just simply select a rock - try and find the most uncarved looking one you can see - approach it with humility and a tasteful tea-shirt and then go about watching it...
Hmmm. The link is as dead as a rock.
ReplyDeletelol, i think my son is a master at "rock watching." he'll just stare off into space for hours and i have no idea what he finds so fascinating... of course i sit and watch him for hours and others might wonder the same about me. ;)
