How green the hills are


This is a photo I took last year from Panola Mountain. In the distance, faintly, you can make out the shape of Stone Mountain, a pluton of magma that millions of years ago was thousands of feet below the surface. This same rock stretches all across northern Georgia. It's particularly noticeable in Rockdale and Walton counties, where lichen covered granite sprouts out of the pastureland.
I have been writing a verbatim about a death last night until 4:30 this morning. I'm finally going to bed. I must awake at 8. Wish me luck.
