I love this image. We are all in the rock tumbler of life and we can either become bitter and angry because of the difficult things that come our way, or we can let them smooth us and turn us into beautiful tumbled stones.
The world is full of sharp edged people, we need more soft, beautiful people!
Book Excerpt
Tumbled People
When I put that first batch into the tumbler, I looked forward to prying off the cap after the first week. I must tell you, the rocks came out in a disgusting gray goo, as zillions of tiny bits of rock had been knocked loose and ground to dust, creating an ugly paste. But after I rinsed off the sludge, I could see the beautiful change taking place in the rocks. After each week of tumbling, the sand had done its work: the rocks became increasingly smooth. Finally, after the last week of fine sand, the rocks were transformed into smooth, beautiful pieces of art. The inner beauty of the rocks had been revealed.
