Gongshi, or scholar's rocks, are particularly aesthetic phenomena in nature. In all likelihood you have stumbled across one in your life. Skipping rocks. Canoeing. Dodging pedos at summer camp. At some point in your life-adventure you came across a misshapen object, a rock that was seemingly put in that place for a reason. A divine reason. Did you take it home? Did you hold it in your palm, admire it and then toss it away?

Whichever you did, what does it say about you?
