I was just hanging out
at the creek one day with a friend a few years ago and we were just kind of bored and we're
talking and my friend mentioned some rock piles that he saw once I was like yeah I saw
those and we just started kind of doing it ourselves and I don't know before I knew it
we were out there for a few hours I've made maybe like 10 or 15 and I just felt really
good so I kept doing it balancing rocks has been practiced on earth for I mean at least
thousands of years and all around the world I find that fascinating because it's kind
of a it's almost a really deep element of the collective unconscious so I think that
is related to why people find it so fascinating I'll look for various shapes depending on
kind of how I want the balance to go and a lot of times the rock I will find and actually
brain or collect and use is one that I know can balance like before I even put it next
to the stack I'll just find some kind of small notch in the rock that I am absolutely sure
will balance and sometimes they'll take I mean anywhere from like a minute to up to
half an hour to complete like one balance it almost never takes that long but a lot
of the challenge it with those really fine balance points is kind of I guess leaning
in though into that will to stop like your body mentally and physically sometimes just
wants to stop and the hardest part is that gets easier with practice is to just lean
into that pain or whatever discomfort that it causes.
Just the sound of the water rushing by really kind of drowns my thoughts out which kind
of helps in the I guess meditative process but yeah just while I'm actually focusing
on that balance point I'm almost like not even using vision or hearing it's just feeling
I guess.
Yeah I used to tube a lot but I kind of stopped because as I've been out here balancing rocks
I've seen so many tubers I mean it looks pretty fun and all and I imagine it is but it's just
I don't know some of the rocks are really unpredictable and they look like they hurt
if you drag your butt too long.
Okay.
Gravity glue. I do it with gravity glue.
I do it with gravity glue.

Thank you for watching.
