A series of "CRUST"

The stone is the most primitive existence and also basic material fo the earth.
Stone has a lot of deep memories and knowledge actually. But unfortunately stone is very reticence and obstinacy.
However stone will start to talk suddenly if our mind came into them, it's just like when we looked at the cosmos through a telescope.
I have been thinking we would better put any stones beside us and feel them every day, you might get something what we are or what we will be.
The morst important thing is a stone as an existence is put near us and touch it every day.
