Okay. This is about Rocks. They're not animals, I know. But I have the same conversations with rocks that I do with house sparrows and neighborhood dogs (also, tangerines for that matter).
So this huge earthquake in Chile...8.something...while devastating lives and property also shifted the earth. The way they put it: it moved a mass quantity of rock and when that happens the earth shifts on its axis.
I knew rocks were smart!
They are the silent (steadfast) witnesses to everything. Years and centuries, millennia go by and there they stay...solid, watching, non-complaining and amazingly patient. Only an earthquake (okay, volcano, mudslide, glacier...) can get them moving. And then there's us humans who pick up rocks and throw them: at glass houses and to skid along a lake and to stuff inside a snowball like Robertson Davies' famous snowball rock that set his Deptford trilogy spinning into existence.
I tell ya...rocks: they're underestimated and vastly overlooked.
But humans can only move small rocks.
