It's a Wrap...

A tiny pebble was tossed into a dry season riverbed

As it lay there unmoving day by day 

The rainy season returned with its plenteous deluge

And the  headwaters of the river grew as with raindrops

Aplenty it was fed

The headwaters became a rushing mighty torrent 

And swept all in its path toward the river's mouth

To meet the ocean's mighty current.

The tiny pebble had been worn smooth by the 

Mighty headwater's toss

And came forth a polished stone with a gloss

To travel with the ocean's currents the whole world around

Until such time as it was deposited upon a distant shore 

And by a collector, at last, was found

It was taken home and put among the finder's rare baubles

That had been discovered of old

Well, wouldn't you know it, that shiny pebble

Turned out to be genuine gold.

(My gracious thanks to Kickstarter for the toss!)

I have been asked to do guest blogging for two sites.  I will let you know where and when  if I decide to do so. I will keep this site open, as always. I will be doing a new site for my books or a spinoff from this one. Until later...
