In Brevard County, a wonderful action is taking place, bringing joy and connection to thousands of people through the simple act of painting rocks.
在布雷瓦尔德县，一场精彩的活动正在进行，通过画岩石的简单行为，为成千上万的人带来了欢乐和联系。
This action began as a small gesture of kindness between two friends but has since grown into an online community with over 40,000 members. Jen Justiniano began painting rocks to deal with her worries after a hurricane (飓风) and shared creations on the Internet. Her friend Carrie Cerve also shared positive messages on the Internet, to encourage others. When Cerve discovered Justiniano’s rock posts, she was inspired. Together, they created a private Facebook group called Brevard Rocks FL. What they thought would be a small gathering quickly became popular. The group now has 41,500 members, with more joining every day.
这一行动最初是两个朋友之间的一个小小的善意之举，但后来发展成为一个拥有40000多名成员的在线社区。Jen Justiniano开始画石头来应对飓风后的担忧，并在互联网上分享创作。她的朋友Carrie Cerve也在互联网上分享了积极的信息，以鼓励他人。当Cerve发现Justiniano的岩石柱时，她受到了启发。他们一起创建了一个名为Brevard Rocks FL的私人脸书群组。他们认为这将是一个小型聚会，但很快就变得流行起来。该组织现在有41500名成员，每天都有更多的成员加入。
Members paint rocks with messages like “Be kind,” “Spread kindness,” and “Love,” then hide them around the community. Those who find the rocks often feel greateful, leading them to join the group and share their stories.
成员们在石头上画上“善良”、“传播善意”和“爱”等信息，然后把它们藏在社区周围。那些找到岩石的人通常会感到非常高兴，并带领他们加入这个小组，分享他们的故事。
One such person is Coleen Carlson from Viera. During a difficult time in her life, she found a pink-painted rock with the word “Warrior” outside a shop. The message resonated deeply with her and made her cry. She kept the rock for several years until a friend going through a hard time needed it too. Carlson gave her the rock, and they both cried together. Even though she doesn’t know where the rock ended up or if it was passed on again, she knows that whoever painted it had no idea how special it would become.
来自Viera的Coleen Carlson就是这样一个人。在她人生中的一段艰难时期，她在一家商店外发现了一块粉红色的石头，上面写着“战士”一词。这条信息深深地打动了她，让她哭了。她把这块石头保存了好几年，直到一位经历了艰难时期的朋友也需要它。Carlson把石头给了她，他们俩一起哭了。尽管她不知道这块石头最终在哪里，也不知道它是否会再次被传递，但她知道，无论谁画它，都不知道它会变得多么特别。
