Inspiring Reading

Holistic Village - What Can Stones Teach Us? By Maril Crabtree
For most of us, most of the time, stones form an unassuming backdrop to the rest of our lives. They support the ground we walk on. They provide spectacular scenery for mountain hiking, climbing, skiing, or simply gazing. They help build the edifices that surround our lives: our homes, our workplaces, our churches, temples, mosques, and synagogues, our institutions of learning, our community centers. Their mute existence assures us that the foundation of things seems strong, immovable, safe.
