Zen Rocks Bozeman, Montana 2013

I was doing a little landscaping around our house a couple of weeks ago, including putting gravel borders around everything so we don’t have to trim when we mow. At the bottom of the stairs down to our garage, the gravel border sort of melds with some natural rock protruding from the ground. (Our house is built on the side of a rocky limestone ridge and we often end up digging in rock when we excavate or otherwise re-contour the grounds.) I must have had some extra time on my hands that day as I ended up sorting through the gravel picking out appropriately sized round pieces of gravel to line all the cracks in the boulders. It was actually kind of a relaxing, meditative exercise.]]>
