A stone

While on a country walk, I followed this advice from a therapist: “Pick up a stone and tell it that it represents a sorrow you are carrying, an injustice or other misunderstanding. Tell it all your woes and how you feel as you go on your walk. When you can’t think of anything else, give it back to nature.”

When I picked up the stone, I had no idea what I would end up telling it. But it became obvious as I walked along. And I took the time to share everything with it before flinging it over a precipice.

The relief when I let go of it was palpable.

What about you? Do you need to recycle back into the natural world something you are carrying?
