skipping stones requires patience

first, you have to find the right stone
not too small
not too large
not too medium
smooth, but with a jagged edge
elliptical but with a corner

second, you have to throw it just right
not too fast
not too slow
not too medium
spinning but straight ahead
give it a bounce, but keep it low

last, you just need a lot of rocks
a lot of water
a lot of arm
a lot of hope
