Set up camp, and enjoy a perfect evening under the stars.<br />3. It's a wonderfully rose hued large shaped quartz that is smooth and slightly translucent.<br />4. Well that was a lot of fun, can't wait to do it again.<br /><br />It never occurred to me to place a value on the stone I was looking for, but the one I chose has some special significance to me. As for saying everything I've wanted to that special father figure, I've said it plenty during my time away from home though various letters and such.<br />Gives me a warm feeling inside, in any event.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18270666719289599529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539745216214955202.post-66962453185030138582009-10-29T18:26:05.444-03:002009-10-29T18:26:05.444-03:001.

I think it *might* be of value but know right away this stone is for me only and would never think of selling it anyway. The value of this stone is the fact that I accomplished the task and found this stone on my own.<br /><br />4.Parting words? Hmmmm...."Thanks Nature, for being gentle with me this time, and letting me stay here and take this beautiful stone away from this mountain. I'll always look back on this solo adventure with good feelings.<br /><br /> Mountain's words? None--just an unspoken message I can feel that I was accepted.Gal Fridayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00643821953484820115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539745216214955202.post-91673023327019018482009-10-29T16:26:35.624-03:002009-10-29T16:26:35.624-03:00My attempt to find answers:

Green, similar to olivine, small enough to hold in the palm of your hand and carry anywhere. Its value cannot be appreciated by all. <br /><br />4. Thank you mountain for letting me visit. I hope to visit again.<br /><br />Its reply: Please come again, I enjoy the company of gentle souls. <br /><br />What a great exercise. That was fun.

I'm a little apprehensive standing at the foot of the great mountain but I'm determined to conquer my fear of heights and look at it as a challenge. <br /><br />(I don't fear my father but he can certainly be a challenge at times)<br /><br />2. I'm tired after the long search so I find a small cavern that I take shelter in for the night. It will keep me warm and safe in here.<br /><br />(This one didn't fit with my personality. Well, except for the "late bloomer")<br /><br />3. The stone I was searching was a small heart shaped golden topaz that shimmers like the sun, it appears to be warm to the touch even on this cold mountain top. The topaz has little monetary worth but is very special to me because it is my birthstone. I will treasure it always. <br /><br />(I like how this answer turned out)<br /><br />4. I thank the mountain for not failing me. The mountain says "your welcome", "happy your found what you were looking for".<br /><br />(awwww, I love my dad)Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694572749056669250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539745216214955202.post-26836683962646703752009-10-29T12:28:28.890-03:002009-10-29T12:28:28.890-03:00An amazing search ensued on this mountain, accessi...An amazing search ensued on this mountain, accessible yet complex and fascinating.<br />Camping over to continue to the search, staying with the mountain until all is accomplished. Conquest is not the reason for presence so much as the wonder of the search itself.<br /><br />The emerald I found was very valuable yet, in its natural state still required work to bring out the great value locked within the stone. The weight is several ounces but the cut and finish is yet to be done. Value according to the completed work could vary.<br /><br />I came to the mountain for the treasure within and without, and because I have passed I have found some things out about me. This mountain will echo with the joy of my journey, and perhaps that resonance will encourage others.LarryGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04149803030730349791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539745216214955202.post-47158629583875954362009-10-29T11:09:24.806-03:002009-10-29T11:09:24.806-03:00Interesting.
