I call these "Summit Stones"..... After gathering these small rocks for many years, while out on adventures, I now splash a bit of paint on them, after 'Mixing In' very special elements with the colors. Then I give these stones back... The musings here are simply about the wonders of adventure and inspiration. It's all about the importance of giving back and passing forward.....
