Cairn. A mound of stones built as a memorial or landmark. Found worldwide throughout history and prehistory.
Balancing rocks. Markers.
A moment.
A meditation. A prayer.
Considered a nuisance by some.
Considered art by others.
A gift.
I am reminded of the church, “living stones,” when I discover a cairn or balancing rocks. Built with stones, common and found, unique in shape and weight, formed by time and circumstance. The individual qualities of the stones enable them to fit together. Each stone is positioned to be supported and to support. Together the common becomes uncommon. A firm foundation provides stability necessary to release creativity. The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
