The sounds that shale makes, clattering and skittering over each other in its journey down the cliffs is a welcome one, like the sound of water moving in a brook. It is a soothing sound, and Burgess wishes she could emulate that sound in her movements, the fluidity and joy of ringing rock.
While the shale beds can be hard to find footing on, with the rocks slipping every which way, journeying to the shale beds is worthwhile in its own right; sometimes, if she can find the right rock to turn over, strange ghosts emerge from the mix of brown and black, some like strange insects and some like clouds pressed into the surface. These little gifts from the rock are an extra joy, and Burgess delights in imagining stories of how these patterns came to be on the rocks, her own personal world.

Congrats Mira on your first equid! Also shout out to rainbow panda for sharing that super cool cross stone. I'm going to do another non-equid owners only adopt next, is there anything colour or pattern-wise you guys would be interested in?
