The Stones Cry Out

"The tiny pebble that you might happen to pick up during a walk is a cross-section of a drama that began some five billion years ago, in a place that would later come to be called the solar system-a cloud of gas drifting idly through space, growing denser and denser until after countless eons it finally gave birth to this planet. That pebble is a condensed history of the universe that keeps the eternal cycle of matter locked in its ephemeral form."
