By the sea stands a rock unlike any other. While the rest drift off to sleep, soothed by the ocean goddess’s lullaby, this one suddenly wakes. Wobbling and unsteady, this stone encounters the world like a newborn.
Though it is probably a million years old, the stone experiences a series of life’s “firsts”: an awakening of the five senses, the rise and fall of emotions. Filled with curiosity, it brims with expectation—what will it encounter next? Then one day, a memory stirs within: it recalls the instant of its birth countless epochs ago.
Infused with the spirit of oral storytelling, this playful and poetic book carries the grandeur and mystery of myth.
