This pet is beautifully proportioned and perfectly colored. It doesn t have the slightest blemish. I found on a gravel bar in the Green River. The rock is the ideal ornament for the window sill in my office. But in spite of its perfection, it hardly competes with Toby for my affection.
Humans realize their highest purpose in the cultivation of holiness.
Over the past 1800 years among Christian movements and sects which have stressed the importance of holiness, people commonly came to think of holiness as the absence of wrong doing. A holy person didn t lie, cheat or steal. A holy person was someone who didn t do bad stuff. But by these standards, my granite cobble is a paragon of holiness. Which, of course, is silly.
