"Before the children of Europe took these hills, the people who walked (in western Missouri and eastern Kansas) believed stones to be alive because they carried heat, changed their forms, and moved if you watched long enough. To them, rocks were concentrations of power and life...Yet, to think of rock can be to dream origins and be reminded of the old search for the philosopher's stone, that elixir basic to all substance."
