"The most beautiful stones have been tossed by the wind, washed by the water, and polished to brilliance by life's strongest storms."
Can we imagine ourselves to be stones that are polished over time?
Such a beautiful collection of stones - fav! I can't remember where I read it, but people were described as rough stones cast into the sea (of life), and the interaction of the sea and rough stones wears the rough edges off, smoothes, polishes and perfects us.
