By Karen Burnette Garner | In the field of geology, the study of rocks and their creation come down to two pretty simple ideas: time and pressure. Those elements take everyday materials and transform them into something altogether different. Precious stones are the result of time and pressure on the crystallization of minerals. Coal becomes diamond, sea sand and creatures become limestone and slate, rocks become different rocks through the forces of pressure-created heat and time. Time and pressure can allow the most fragile tree root to split the massive boulder.

By Michael Wood, Peachtree Corners, Ga. | Our country now has two major-party, presumptive candidates for president: Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump.

“You may not know who I am or what I mean
But I will be good faith to you nevertheless.
And filter and fiber your soul.
“Failing to fetch me at first, keep encouraged.
Missing me one place, search another.
I stop, somewhere, waiting for you.”
– Walt Whitman
