“Geologists have a saying – rocks remember.” ~Neil Armstrong

“Hello there.”
“What?! Who said that? Who’s there?!”
“I’m down here.”
“But, you’re a rock!”
“That’s right! My name is Terrance A. Cotta, the 1003rd, but you can call me Terry…get it? Sheesh! Humans are so dense!”
“I’m going crazy!”
“Oh, get over yourself! You and I are made of the same stuff you know. You’re just mucilaginous. I was once a mountain. I soared so high I danced with the clouds.”
“Mucilaginous? What’s that mean? Never mind. I’m outa here!”
“Oh well, off you go then. But I could tell you things, if you’d listen. I could tell you things…”

Funny take — although Terry is right, he probably could tell a piddly human several lifetime’s worth of things!

Age and exposure matters. Humans delight in finding fossils. 🙂

For an old fossil he’s keeping up with the times slang-wise. I rhink there’s a ventriloquist hidden in the shrubs.🤔

Good fun, and a good literal example of humankind ignoring the stories that nature could tell us.
