This IS NOT A Stone (#77)

"Does water get tired from flowing around a stone? No, water never gets tired. How fluid is my character?

When I think of my wife, I do not see water. Rather stone.

What kind of stone?

There is a sandstone you can scratch with your nails. There is the family of the Emmenthaler pyroglasts wherein water remains. You have granite with tiny transparent pieces in it, and in addition to all the following species there is limestone, preferably not too clean, not too virginal, with fossides, please, or there's nothing to dig for for a psychologist."

Author and journalist Atte Jongstra in “Over 't nut van wandelen” in DWB, juni '97
