Talking to Rocks
How many of us talk to ourselves? I know I do, and I've seen others, slightly embarrassed at being caught, doing the same thing. It's a way that we can work through problems and find internal solutions when there's no one around to talk with. Tom talks out loud to himself, but he also confides in a magical stone that whispers solutions back to him. I hope you'll take a moment to read my excerpt from "The Imagination Stone" and see if you would talk to a stone sitting on your desk in the same way Tom does! Coming in May, 2022.
Book Excerpt
The Imagination Stone
Tom stretched and looked back down at his desk. The sketches he had been working on were good, but there was still something about them that bothered him. He held one up for better lighting. He wrinkled his brow and set the sketch back down. “What are you missing?” he asked out loud to no one in particular. He looked at the stone sitting on his desk, “Let’s see what you think,” he said picking up the stone. As he held the stone in his hand, it began to glow softly. Almost indistinguishable whispers came from it. He listened intently and smiled.
“That’s it! You’re right,” Tom smiled. “I’m so glad that you found me. You’ve taught me so much! Thank you.”
