I lay a blessing stone for you, dear Phyllis, as you mourn the passage of your mother into mystery, into the what-comes-next, carrying her love for you and yours for her forever in you.

I needed to see this today. What a great idea!!! Thanks, Phyllis, for doing this. I'm going to think on this and add some things in the coming days.

There’s no hurry. The pile of blessing stones will always be there, an altar to caring.

I lay a blessing stone for my sister Carol who's hospitality invited me to rest, relaxation, and lots of laughter .

Bless Carol! I rejoice with you in her hospitality. (May I suggest that you repost this comment on the Blessing Stones page instead of on this post? That way more Rafters will be able to celebrate with you. Here's the link: https://phylliscoledai.substack.com/p/blessing-stones)

Phyllis, what a lovely idea and blessing to our community! Thank you for having an open heart to hear/sense the need we all have to "flower within from self-blessing" (Galway Kinnel) and to share that blessing with others.

I appreciate your connecting this with Galway Kinnell’s line. (And you’re welcome.)

I lay a blessing stone for my sister, Patricia, and her family north of Beirut. May she and her family leave safely for the USA in November as planned, and may the thousands of displaced people in Lebanon find safe places for health and comfort.

Adrienne, dear, I magnify your blessing on Patricia and her family and all the displaced people. May I suggest that you repost your blessing stone at this link: https://phylliscoledai.substack.com/p/blessing-stones/comments That way it will appear with other blessings instead of as a comment on this particular post. 🙏🏼
