A Rock on a Post

Some things make sense on the surface—they are instinctive, and you don’t need to dive deeply to know it’s the right thing to do. A perfect example of this is opening the door for someone who is carrying something. It’s an automatic human response.

Another action that falls into this category is placing a rock on top of a post when you come across one in the middle of nowhere. It just makes sense to find a rock and place it on top of the post—no need for explanation.

Yesterday, I passed by a lone fence post that had been recently pounded into the ground at the edge of what we call Big Tire Gulch. I immediately noticed that someone had placed a smooth, roundish rock on top. This pleased me so much that I stopped and captured a photograph. Had someone else not done so, I would have felt compelled to find a rock for the post myself.
