One of my favorite pieces from last year.
This exquisite Gobi Desert agate formed millions of years ago when silica-rich fluids slowly filled volcanic cavities, later revealed and sculpted by uplift, erosion, and relentless desert wind.
It was formed before the desert 🏜️
In the age before the desert learned silence, fire cracked the Earth open and water carried memory into the wounds.
Silica came slowly, returning again and again, until the hollow places learned how to hold themselves.
When the waters left and the winds arrived, what remained did not flee,it hardened its knowing and waited to be found.
This stone reminds me:
Pressure is not the enemy,haste is.
So toes down ... steady in the now, faithful with the rest. 😉
