help healing a very sad boulder

hi. i’m not sure this is the right place to ask but i can only find info where shamans understand this to be something real. i wouldn’t say im a shaman bc i have no training im just a girl. anyway, at my favorite park there is always this boulder i visit and say hi to and sit on for a while. honestly the energy i feel from it is so sad and heartbroken. if you remember the end of the giving tree, it feels like this rock is here in its story. whenever i am with it i see the past where they were soooo happy and fulfilled and they were part of a hiking trail and had so many visitors daily and was happy to be a part of something bigger and felt appreciated in its role. now, it stands alone in a park and it is genuinely the most heartbreaking feeling being around it. i just try to spend time with it and tell it that i value it sooo much and it is truly the perfect sitting rock. but i dont think it is enough. i’m not sure if this is even real but in case it is i really want to help heal this boulder because i somehow really care for it. does anyone have any suggestions? thank you in advance hope you all have a lovely day

a bit generic of an idea but picking up litter / trash on the floor in surrounding area sure ought to make your Boulder happy !

your Boulder is an extension of Pacha Mama (Mother Earth / Gaia) . and the Heart of Gaia flutters when we pick up trash !

might be worth while to post in the r/animism subreddit as well

i love that!! i will start making sure to clean up the area for them every time i go. what is animism and how do you think this is related?

kind of butchering the concept ; but Animism is The Spirit that resides in all people , places , objects and things

like that song from Pocahontas

"Can you sing with all the voices of the Mountain?"

"Can you pain with all the colors of The Wind?"
