To Touch A Stone by Roland English Hartley

To touch a stone, to touch it with fullness of sense,
With the knowing mind alive in the finger tips,
Is to go deep back where all beginnings were,
To feel the flames and the floods that wrought the earth,
And know this hand is one with all that was.

Touching a stone declares oneself a part
Of all the vast upsurgings of the world,
The long advance from formlessness to form,
And nature's mute resolve to be aware.

The essence of this stone is life's first home;
Here we are housed a while with bird and tree.
Alone? There is no one of us alone
In a world where a living hand may touch a stone.

Bob,

I was fortunate enough to spend my grandmothers (who raised me) last months on this earth, taking care of her.

It was like giving back.

Enjoy this time with her.
