FORT LAUDERDALE 2005: What do you do when the Earth forms a friendship with you? When you feel a connection so astounding it changes your life? How do you ignore a stone calling out to you, telling you where it needs to go and that you must take it there? If you're Marian Larsen, you don't ignore the request, you follow it joyously and with passion as it leads you where it will.
"My friend asked the guard if it would be possible to access the top of the hill from the other side. The guard replied that the entire hill was off limits, due to planting. “But that is where I am going!” I told him. “That is where the stone wants to be placed. I can do nothing about it. The stone has spoken!” "
"I put all the stones back in their little bag and got up to start walking home. I had hardly gone a step, when I heard a piece of flint calling me. I bent down, took it up, and thanked it for letting me hold it. I started to put it back, and I heard a wild protest. I took it up again and explained that I was about to leave the country and had no room in my suitcase for more stones. It didn’t care about my suitcase; it wanted to go with me. What could I do? I couldn’t pretend that I hadn’t heard or understood it. There are no masks in dealings with stones. It’s impossible to hide. The stone knew I had understood."
