Get the Balance Right

Many years ago, sitting on a rock outcropping in a forested ravine of s.Ont., this one had a vision. I thought the world had ended, It seemed as if there was an earthquake or a bomb going off, the ground was churning, the light was different, I leaped to avoid being churned up in the rocks. When my feet landed, the perspective on the rock outcropping this one had been sitting on had shifted and a large rock head and face was now apparent. I don't mean it kinda looked like a face, this WAS a giant stone face. The huge native face radiated a fatherly kindness. The rocks that were the mouth moved to talk and began grinding and speaking in a very deep grinding gravel-ly voice. The giant rock face said " Invent a game for the children" and the vision ended as suddenly as it had begun.


Stone balancing can be approached as the play of a child. Playing with the type of playful seriousness that happens when growth and awareness are occurring for one. Many haven't played this way since childhood. As a child I used to spend hours building sand castles at the beach. Stone balancing is just like that. Come play!


Come grow, play, you are the buddha!
