The Rockin' Experience- Meghan Herrity

While in class today a rock was passed around and once the rock had made its way we were asked to write about how the rock made us feel or what we experienced. This is what I got:

When holding the rock in my hands I experienced a sensed that the rock had chipped off of a great mountain, it was only a small piece of something so big and of such great magnitude. As the rock left my hands I began to wonder where the rock had come from? Was it found on the bottom of a creek? Is that why the rock was so smooth? After my thoughts began to wonder, the origin of the rock was finally revealed. It was a small piece of Mt. Lassin, a huge mountain, that had errupted years ago. Once I knew the story of the rock it made me think. And what I gathered from this lesson was that something so small can truly be part of something so huge. So though each of is are only one we are part of something big, whatever it may be.
