rock, the river, and the vicissitudes of land and sea

The earth has a story. You read it in the stone, just as you read it in a leaf, and you read it in the clouds, just as you read it on the surface of water. The leaf was once a stone, and the clouds were some sea water. And the earth tells its story, and retells it from time to time. A leaf will become a stone, and the clouds will return to the sea again. The mountain peaks tell us that they were once at the bottom of the sea, and there are coral animals in the depths of the sea, which are now land that will rise one day, rising above the surface of the sea. And you can read the story of the earth everywhere.. This story is told by the small pebble, just as the big mountain tells it.. It is told by the fresh water in the stream, just as the waves of the ocean tell it with its salt water. In fact, you, the reader, are considered part of this story.. And so is the house that You live there, and the food you eat... The earth tells its story in a way that is not difficult for you to read. When you learn how to read it, the earth will appear to you in a new image. You will see it as it was in the distant past, and you will see it in its current state, as you imagine it after a long time.
