One Stone at a Time

10 min

Borrowing the patience of dry-stone wallers on the Cumbrian fells, this practice sets aside the whole wall the mind wants built at once and attends only to the next stone: one small thing for today, weighed in the hand and set in place.

Soft, spacious, calm

Soft and spacious, with room between every line, lets a busy mind settle in its own time, never pushed.
