I say unto you,
     That God is able of these stones
     to raise up children unto Abraham.

          ― Luke 3:8

​Is the stone
     or seer
 
the instrument
manifesting
     inappreciable things
     to us
plainly?
 
          (If stone,
              why seer?
          If seer,
              why stone?)
 
What makes rock
     precious
           (does God esteem
           atoms in carbon
           hardened into diamond 
      more than those of feldspar
      olivine or quartz)?
 
Seers are peters
    polished
from plain folk
     (common as river rock)
 
seeking the Inappreciable
     in ordinary stoneship:
 
     Seeing in plainness
          preciousness
          not
          presupposed.
