[bodytext] => Smooth, round, and flat inside my palm, simple joy. Let it fly across the water as a bird learning to fly. Then gently, slap, slap, slap the crystal surface as its purpose spreads out in ripples; imperfect, concentric circles gently rustling the life beneath into awareness. Like an echo the effect pulses out and back to its origin but the stone has already moved on to join its brothers and sisters who travel currents to some unknown destination. Stones smooth, round, and flat skip across the water's glassy face then drift away. The point of origin shudders as if a heartbeat skipped in the absence of some lover gone astray.
