"He has made His wonders to be remembered…" Psalm 111:4

I still do not know exactly what that stack of rocks I found in the creek was intended to represent, but the fact that it contains meaning at all is profound.

It reminds me of a similar stone memorial, described in the Old Testament which not only meant something, but was guaranteed to precipitate questions from children.

If any artist can get children to stop and ask, "What does that mean?" and in so doing pass on a bit of remembrance to the next generation, then that artist has really done something.

I try to keep that childishly significant question near the surface when I look through my camera.
