Very good analysis, appreciated @hlezama. I find your final comments very successful:

The contemplation of rocks issues self-examination. Their majesty can be humbling. Even in their fractures there is evidence of fortitude. Their imposing authority interpellates us. We are constantly sieged by
the heft of life's behest.
And, like with family, that’s the implication of bloodlines. That’s the weight of their commands.

Well done!
