A SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY

 

When I began experimentally ‘meeting’ with specific stones from my personal collection back in January 2022, I had no way of knowing what the process would eventually become. In fact, just eight months later, I believed I had exhausted any benefit the concept had provided, so decided to move on from it ‘for good’. But much to my surprise, the conversations were revitalized by Lara, who persistently referred to the abundance of encouragement + insight my original encounters had bestowed.

It was more than one full year since I had last received a message from the stones; but on September 28 (of 2023) the first of my next phase of conversations had officially begun with my decision to invite Gold Sheen Obsidian to speak. And speak it did, in words that have continued to inspire + amaze us ever since! Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of this gift.

Emerald came next - just one day later - with its lessons on the subject of receiving + its generous assertion that ‘Life in its infinite richness rests in the home of the heart’. Today marks one full year since that important conversation, and the words remain as pivotal today as they were then.

It struck me just last night that I have never properly announced these conversations, even though they have so clearly served as critical prerequisites to all that we’ve been living ever since.

Would we have ever met the Angels had it not been for the earlier encounters with the Stones? No, I don’t believe we would have.

Would any of this world that we now occupy exist if not for the relentless admiration of my wife? I don’t believe it would.


CONTINUED…

And so today we celebrate: the gift of conversations we were so so very clearly meant to have (the many conversations yet to come); the pleasures of both giving + receiving; the otherworldly life we get to share.
