The interfingering between people and rock
About Me
- David B. Williams
- I have moved this blog to my new web site http://geologywriter.com. Please follow me on Twitter @geologywriter. I am a freelance writer based in Seattle. For the past decade, I have been writing about wildness in the urban landscape and how you don't need to travel far to find interesting natural history stories. They are all around if you take the time to look.

I agree that we need to turn to literature to make this determination. To me, stone is softer, smoother...rolls down a hill gently. Rock is stalwart, craggy and unmovable. Interesting article.
Woow!Awesome article and observations. I think stone is a much better option than rock.By the way thanks for the share. Cheers!
