I guess this is one of those obvious "well of course they have a different intelligence" moments. They operate on vastly different scales of time than we do, and they experience thing very differently than we do. I can only imagine what the formations, say, to the bottom of the Grand Canyon would say, never mind near the arctic (actually, I have a piece of rock from there, a rather nice of gneise (metamorphic). It 'feels' ancient.

Maybe we can tie this in to everything else we are doing with regards to sensing environments and working with the environment to get a better understanding of interactions. If you like, I have (somewhere) a workshop with a meditation that explores this concept. Might be interesting to see if people will bring a rock with them they have an affinity with.

Incidentally, as with what Jarin is doing, I think I may just have mine take place at the Faery Cairn.
