When Stones Speak

Preface William Blake saw a world in a grain of sand. These sculptures and poems go inside the stones to see what centuries have hidden. Sit with this stone art. Feel God's tender love and care. Receive the gift of Peace. The stone poems, go inside the stone sculptures to explain the riddle of life- Hidden through the ages. Some stones were plucked from river beds where rainbow trout came and whispered secrets. When picked up and sawed sparks fly from them, so maybe they contain light of stars. Light to reveal the Mystery of wisdom written on walls of caves. Etched in stone commandments. Sun shining bright. Star of Bethlehem! Bible stone art teaches the significance of life- Jesus is Life. Gentle Galilean Glories Healing words of love. The Glory of God The Word made flesh Heaven's Son Shine As you meditate upon this art, may you come from scars of stones cast, to comfort of stone art, bowing in wonder. Let this be your prayer: It is by the Goodness of God that I was born into this world in the first place. It is by the Grace of God that I am held every step that I take in life. And it is by the Love of God revealed in the gentle life and tender teachings of Jesus that I am becoming a child of God. Ame
