After learning about Jock\u2019s story and his journey <\/a>with balancing rocks in one of my previous blog posts, I wanted to try out some rock stacking myself. I originally wanted to make a whole event out of it and go to a beach and collect new rocks to use to stack on my own rock balancing journey. Unfortunately, I kept not finding the time to head to the beach. Instead, I decided to use the rocks I have already collected to try stacking them. I had a mix of rocks that were smooth and flat and good for balancing, as well as some rounder, more textured rocks that may not have seemed ideal for balancing.<\/p>\n

When I first began trying to balance the rocks, I chose the ones that looked easiest to balance, flat and smooth. I found success pretty quickly with these rocks, and my confidence was high; however, the process became harder as the rocks became less ideal. I enjoyed the process becoming harder; it made me slow down and focus more intentionally while stacking the rocks. When I was stacking the rocks, that was the only thing on my mind: how can I get this rock to balance? It was a very enjoyable process and allowed me to relax and reset during the business of the end of the semester. I felt that doing the rock balancing with rocks I had already collected, and so already had a connection with, allowed me to connect even more with them.<\/p>\n
