“Some stones are special for inscrutable reasons. Byrd Baylor’s 1974 book Everybody Needs a Rock offers ten rules for finding a rock. This is not one of the ten rules, just general guidance: If somebody says, “What’s so special about that rock?” don’t even tell them. I don’t. Nobody is supposed to know what’s special about another person’s rock.”
