Lots of meditation, wellness and supporting crystals.Thinking that a smooth stone in a pocket would be nice - pink quartz is very calming - we ventured in.Inspecting the abundance of quartz, there was one that stood out . Unlike the others, it was cracked. Its smooth surface was interrupted.It spoke to us and we took it (along with a completely smooth one).I’ve kept the “imperfect” one and often rub it. Feeling the crack.I am reminded of the Leonard Cohen line - “There is a crack, a crack in everything…that’s how the light gets in .”

<![CDATA[Benjamin_Geizhals added new blog post]]>Thursday, July 3rd … and we’re in Great Barrington (Massachusetts) awaiting the arrival of our children and grandchildren for our third annual July Fourth family reunion.From Washington D.C., Alexandria, Virginia, Brooklyn and Manhattan, they will journey to the Berkshires for a weekend of fun, sushi at Bizen (our cousin’s famous restaurant), and, possibly, a repeat of last year’s bowling party. Most of all, from our grand-parental vantage point, are the seven cousins just being together.The weekend is becoming a tradition for our family, and, as anyone who knows me knows, I love family and traditions.Enjoy your holiday weekend.
