an ancient conversation

"The rocks are beyond slow, beyond strong, and yet, yield to a soft, green breath as powerful as a glacier; the mosses wearing away their surfaces grain by grain, bringing them slowly back to sand.....

There is an ancient conversation going on between mosses and rocks, poetry to be sure. About light and shadow and the drift of continents. This is what has been called the "dialect of moss on stone - an interface of immensity and minute ness, of past and present, softness and hardness, stillness and vibrancy, yin and yan."
