The sweet spot
I've often said that it's easier to feel for the balancing point with a larger rock, the moment where there are three vital points of contact, sometimes relying upon the slightest niche in the base rock.
At the risk of sounding like a rock nerd, I made fine adjustments with this one for some ten minutes or so, with a slight twist to the left here, feeling for where the weight pulled, a tweak to the right and numerous slight pulls, pushes and turns until finally I felt it 'lock' into place and balance with my fingertips only millimetres away until I was sure that the balance was good.
Not only that, but the whole rock visibly wobbled as this point was reached, for maybe a second or so to a state of stillness.
That wobble was the subtlest vibration and I was amazed to have seen it. One of those moments in nature that puts me in a state of awe and with a desire to look and perceive things more closely.
