“A worthy selection!”
There is writing on the back side of the stone. It reads: “This symbol is the universal symbol of gratitude and appreciation. Appreciation is an art and can be applied to any situation if you consciously choose it.”

Your hand vibrates with a soft hum as you hold the rock. You feel a little dizzy; you feel a little off balance so you sit down and close your eyes to get your barings.

A burning image of the symbol takes over and your mind gets pulled into the maze it resembles, its as if you are transported to its life-size version. You blink, eyes open and sit up. Except this makes the urge to lose your lunch all over the rug way worse. You close your eyes again and lay back.

The maze comes up again. You decide to just go with it. Whatever this is that’s happening will go away as soon as you open your eyes - nothing to be afraid of.

You wonder down the path in your minds-eye and see a sign with an arrow pointing forward. It reads: “APPRECIATION IS AN INSTANT WAY OUT.”

In small print underneath it says: “Appreciation is the act of recognizing or understanding that something is valuable; then taking action on that feeling of gratitude, admiration, or approval.”
