“Once upon a time, a small Jewish boy went to his rabbi and said he didn’t know how to love God. ‘How can I love God when I’ve never seen him?’ asked the boy. ‘I think I understand how to love my mother, my father, my brother, my little sister, and even the people in our neighborhood, but I don’t know how I’m supposed to love God.’
“The rabbi looked at the little boy and said, ‘Start with a stone. Try to love a stone. Try to be present to the most simple and basic thing in reality so you can see its goodness and beauty. Then let that goodness and beauty come into you. Let it speak to you. Start with a stone.’ The boy nodded with understanding.
Come sit with some rocks. We’ll start promptly at 8:30 am with a contemplative practice which will lead us into a quiet, focused time with some beautiful stones and minerals.
