Solid as a rock


We are a nation divided. From the health care debate to gay marriage, from years old "race wounds" to faith wars. It seems as though things are not getting any better.


So what would you expect if some young ladies knocked on your door some late Wednesday evening and said they were selling "rock?"


In the 21st century you might expect the worse, but if you live in Seattle, in Arbor Heights, you should expect what's pictured next to these words; rocks.

And maybe that's enough to remind us that the future will be bright. As bright and simple as little girls selling rocks they found, cause its fun.


This is notice, that the light we see now is not a light fading from past glory. The light we see now is coming to us from a simple, bright and hopeful future.

Thank you for the twist, the hope, and the smile.

isn't it great that these girls didn't get the news that "Strangers are dangerous" "Don't be weird" "Don't be silly"
You know what? is it simply unbelievable that TWO, not just ONE girl in Seattle didn't get that news. I don't think they were real girls at all. I think they were angels sent to invite you back to the world of silliness and playfulness. What a hoot that they would use the contrast of their ephemeralness to sell you earth.
