Marbles Life

Lines in the marble are its life road map. A hard life, is the marble’s, beautiful soul, when carved.

Hi MLK, Greece has marble etched throughout its history, marble in its famous sun dial, marble in the famous Parthenon, marble statues of Greek gods in the museum in Athens - ancient Greek history is drowned in marble - beautiful words MLK that almost seem carved in the marble you write of. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

I had to add that we had a marble floor put down once and a marble inset beside a fireplace. Unfortunately, they were both uneven in a short amount of time. So beautiful the first day, but treacherous to walk on with wet feet.

One of the more beautiful rocks...wouldn't you agree? So many wonderful colors and those lines...they take my imagination to so many places, unseen by physical eyes...okay, so it's a rock.
