Three ultrasounds showing me, Before I was born. • It took some time to create me, it was a process. • I started off as a big rock and one night this big storm came over the mountains and the heavy rains broke my Mama rock down. • After being weathered I underwent erosion and was carried further down the mountain by more rain and winds. • I was eventually deposited at the bottom of a mountain. • It was tough on “Process Street” where I ended up living. I got beat up, compacted, you name it. I was stuck, just living in strata. • Eventually I was cemented together with quartz, orthoclase, and some other stuff.

I guess you could say I have had a rough life. I mean, I was tossed around, downstream, until recently. Finally I was deposited at the bottom of a mountain river. That is where I found my family, all hanging out while the rushing water tossed us and wore us out. Nowadays I just spend my time at the bottom of this river, with my friends and family. We enjoy seeing fish swim over us, swimming in the cool waters and rockin’ to nature’s music. I can get a little clastic around my friends, but they still hang out with me.
