“For the earth is a stone cathedral” 😭 This is so beautiful. And I love your poem.
I love west Michigan! And I have several rocks from there and Lake Huron (I live closest to Lake Erie!) and I too have returned to my childhood love of rocks over the last several years. I had a collection as a kid and even studied geology in college and now my house is full of stones and crystals 😍 I’m going to try holding some as I meditate tonight!
Thank you for reading, Lindsey! So happy to meet another lover of the Great Lakes/rocks and so glad to hear that the meditation idea was helpful to you.
Love this: "The contemplative use of rocks reminds us of the ground and the stardust that connects us all." And I just did it a couple weeks ago. A guided meditation required a crystal--didn't have one. So I searched the gravel in our driveway and found a heart-shaped milky quartz rock! I'll try holding it more often when I meditate. :-)
Most definitely! I have multiple very fond, meaningful memories of church services (esp around Easter weekend) in gorgeous stone churches. Wrote a whole chapter in my book about such "high church" services!

This was really lovely, Kandi! Such peace imagining those big stone cathedrals.
Thank you, Christine! It means a lot to me that these images brought you peace too.

That sounds lovely. I can't wait to read your book when it comes out.
