Rocks in Trees

<p>In an old growth forest located in south central Indiana stands a stately oak tree alongside a meandering brook named Plumb Creek. In the upper branches of this tree is a sizable rock estimated to be in the 500-pound range. How this terrestrial interloper defied gravity and got stuck up in a tree no one knows. One thing is known for sure rocks don’t belong in the tops of trees they belong on the ground with their brother and sister rocks.</p><p>This rock in the top of a tree has suggested a metaphor about the human condition of people who also find themselves in places where they shouldn’t be. These out-of-place people can best be described as contrarians who consider themselves to be sovereign individuals.</p><p>Rocks in Trees tells a story about Thaddeus Jones a guy who always questions why things are the way they are and his one friend in the world Roger Barnabas best known as Rajah. The two young contrarians undertake a Quixotic mission to rid sovereign mankind from freedom-smothering government that then can result in a utopic commonwealth of man.</p>
