grgr (34): "the tower" (747)(rocks)

[jill]

I think of the souls in the stones and think of the way in mining we drag
up certain elect rocks and squeeze the useful ingredients out of them, a
cycle of sorts hinted at by the types of mythology i've glossed over in 
orphism, yeah, some kind of damnation that if we could only break the
cycle...  

The souls of stones, yes a soul but no effective means of being unable to
affect
change. Encoded with the fuel virus that keeps us addicted. But do
these silent observers over time gather the details that were missed
in their mortal lives, all the missing middles? what potential these stones
wield, 
they could expose about the repression of middles from the people by the
THEY.
