The Okotoks Erratic stands as a sentinel — a boulder carried by glaciers, deposited here millennia ago. Its journey mirrors the glacial pace — a testament to patience. We, too, ride this erratic — a mere pebble on its back. Our human lifespan, like a fleeting note, is but a whisper in the cosmic symphony.
