Beautiful! I adore how this work reveals deeper truth. The Alan Watts track together with the music describes it well in words and feeling. Truly beautiful.
I've builded one in the sea with hard wind. I had to be leaning into the wind. When it was finished people came to take look at it and one was standing between the stones and the wind. I told my father: look when he moves the wind will be back and it will collapse. And it did. Michael you were my inspiration to start this! Thank you very much.
Hey Michael, I just installed a rock art exhibition at the FCAI in Mn including an homage to your rock balancing.Your videos are great! Thanks so much for the inspiration.
10 years since watching this video and being inspired to try! I cant imagine not having this tool! some days you just need this kind of meditation to enjoy a beautiful moment in life!
I showed this to my grade 7s this morning during homeroom and they really enjoyed it. The students like to pick out what the rock shapes looked like - dancers, air ballon, cactus and so on. They also really liked the videography. Thanks!
Watching your videos nourishes my soul. Your art is beautiful. Like the best kind of game, you are playing with ALL of the natural elements which are ever dynamic. You catch it artfully with a camara to share it with us and then it is gone from that place but forever captured in our memories. Thanks.
A highly talented human being! Absolutely fascinating video footage. Everything about this is incredible, and I found this very inspiring. Well done! Excellent work! More please 🙋🏻
finally watched your 2012 "Rock Balancing Demo"..... i'm just wanted to say i'm a huge fan! keep up the awesome work and hopefully i'll be sharing my own balancing videos soon!
Great video! Relaxing and empowering at the same time. Giving a nice feeling of eternal life although the action of forces of destruction and the inevitable transience of every single creation. And the possibility to master and enjoy this subtle balance ... Thank you so much :) just what I needed right now.
Lol for some reason watching him stack up these rocks was really soothing. But I'm so impatient I'd never be able to spend an entire day walking around rocks lol. Great editing too
Seriously, you need to go on "America's Got Talent" & you WILL win !! This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen! I read the article about the trouble you were having in Boulder, Colorado & am happy that it was all resolved ! Never stop doing this! Brilliant!
Amazing. Coincedental I just filmed someone who does this for a living. Maybe you know him. Great Shooting and stacking. My dad learned to do this late in life. He had cancer and it helped calm him. I think I'll take it up again. Thanks for the video.
The water creates a cohesion between the two surfaces of rock and creates a tension added to the force of gravity. Gravity is the glue as he so adequately put as the title of this video.

In Portugal after the tourist season is over it's always cool to go to the beach and see all these amazing rock sculptures the hippies left behind :]

This guy is probably a master at jenga
+Latest of Tech Well, he isn't a country, but I don't think that makes him the opposite of one.
hahaha

Perfect audio video blend... Def. one of my favorite Tipper drippers.
I just wish I could hear his words over the music. Beautiful, calming creativity. Thank you.

Fantastic Creations Michael...
Thanks for sharing
Here I am in 2025 watching this for probably the 100th time. Love your work, Michael!
With a few stones Michael Grab creates more beauty, drama and suspense than a big budget movie.
I have no words to describe what I feel like as I watched this video, other than feeling amazingly alive! This is awesome Michael! Thank you!
I love your spoken commentary, it is quite simply true and wonderful. Thanks.
+Vivian Potts pretty sure it's alan watts

Wunderschön 😊 ... was es alles gibt!
I could have cried when he smacked that beautiful one at the end with a rock!! Absolutely amazing!! What gifts these people have.
incredible. both the stones and the video. Great work
Lol for some reason watching him stack up these rocks was really soothing. But I'm so impatient I'd never be able to spend an entire day walking around rocks lol. Great editing too
The power of lateral thinking in the gaze of an artist...' Efimero' and eternal. WOW¡
Still inspiring 9 years later.
I love this vid. Garb is amazing and having Watts and Tipper in there is so nice.
Excellent mindful work Michael. You seem to understand through your work the impermanence to all that we are and do as well.
Seriously, you need to go on "America's Got Talent" & you WILL win !! This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen! I read the article about the trouble you were having in Boulder, Colorado & am happy that it was all resolved ! Never stop doing this! Brilliant!
You are fantastic Man that bring to us a harmony of the world.
Thak you!

Beautiful.
wow.. i see someone has taken staking things to a whole new level.
It's amazing how stones goes back to his hand.
Those reverse shots are so satisfying.
Incredible artistry!
Everyone, seriously...
Alan W. Watts.
Micheal Grab, your videos are awesome brother, very talented guy. hope to see more!
Seriously, or Shirley?
He's spewing bunk.
Gorgeous film!
i love what you do. it touches me to the core of my being.

This is exciting and wonderful, I like the narrative also, thank you for being!
Stunning Rock Art!
Gratitude, c'est très beau.
My favourite ones are the ones next to rough seas or rivers. It's the juxtaposition of the delicately balanced and the more violent forces of nature.
Magnifique !!!
"Allan Watts" partial lecture is played at the beginning of this.. it is brilliant ..
Very impressive. Fragile, like life itself. Well made too
enjoyed the building part as mucch as the destroying part :D
Awesome stuff dude!

that's like the best trip ive ever had
Michael Grab - special thankyou for scene @ 5:53 incredible art

so awsome, makes it look like another planet.
Amazing stuff man!
Very mind settling.
Master of balance, meditation and beauty while leaving no carbon footprint.
By this video I have met with Alan Watts in 2016. Wanted to come back and thank you
