My great great great grandmother was married in Athens AL.
she was from Hardin Co. TN. I know she was native because of the way my sisters and I look. I think this is a great way to honor your ancestors. I will visit and bring some stones from the ocean in North Carolina and from the Diamond mine in Arkansas where I live. Tell then.

I love this journal entry. I am truly grateful to Mr. Hendrix for reminding us about the gifts of an harmonious life. You reminded me of an interview Stud’s Terkel did with a stonemason for his book “Working” that has always stayed with me, because I see in it a truth that all craftsmen and women share, a kind of never-ending dialogue with their work. Here is what the Stonemason said:

“Stone’s my life. I daydream all the time, most times it’s on stone. Oh, I’m gonna build me a stone cabin down on the Green River. I’m gonna build stone cabinets in the kitchen. That stone door’s gonna be awful heavy and I don’t know how to attach the hinges. I’ve got to figure out how to make a stone roof. That’s the kind of thing. All my dreams, it seems like it’s got to have a piece of rock mixed in it.”

Thank you!

Reading this story brought me the most peace I’ve felt all weekend. I’ve been so frustrated by the demands of parenting and working, leaving me so little energy for my creative work. Somehow the quiet photos and the depth of the story let me let go. Thank you. xo
