Stones from the River

"There is a spiritual strength found in nature and time. River stones have been shaped by water passing over and around them, patiently illuminating their color and form. The stones carry a memory of water, long after the water has passed"

Jonathan Kane

"There is a phase in the development of any art or craft when we are still trying to learn it, and so we must remember what we are doing. But once we have learned we must paradoxically forget, trusting that our hard-won knowledge will arise when needed without our forcing it. Right action requires knowledge, but if we try to remember all that we know, that very knowledge can paralyze our action. We must remember the one thing most important to right action: our own inner truth, our own nature, reuniting with that hidden wholeness in us and in our world that is so easily torn apart by powers within and around us."
