Day 2: The Confidence Rock
Today continued my exciting adventure into trying to keep track of exactly seven rocks.
No real reason. Just a number that appeared and felt right.
This morning, one of them was peeking at me from the table where I left them…carefully counted, of course. This one felt different. Like it had already decided it was coming with me.
I go back to my knowledge of rocks and minerals…yep, still pretty sparse. But I believe this is a citrine. Clear, but splashed with different variations of yellow. It catches the light in a way that feels almost…intentional.
I carried it with me all day.
And at one point, I thought…if this rock were magic, what would I want it to do?
The answer came back quickly.
Move with confidence.
So I did.
A little.
Like it was a tiny cheerleader in my pocket.
And for a few moments, I felt it. That light, slightly ridiculous sense that maybe it was doing something.
My logical brain said, yeah, okay.
My other logical brain said, yay.
And for a few moments, that felt like enough.
At some point after a nap, it disappeared into the void.
I’m not worried.
It’ll turn back up.
For now, it belongs to the moment.
And whoever needs it next.
