These three stones - fist-sized to cereal bowl-sized - are on the table on Mary's deck. I don't know why they are there, but they remind me of all the stones I have carried home from places I have visited - the mountains, the beach, the desert, the forest. I wonder how many of us stuff our pockets with stones and shells and why we do it! Do you carry these things home, do you know why?
Those stones are obos, reminders to the universe that the person who placed them there "was there." I put them all over my Basin pieces and left a cairn of 3 piled in the painting studio at the Refuge, just to say hello to the next artist.
