Cairns

First you take a

Nice flat one

​

No, that’s too rounded.

See? The next one

Just rolls right off.

​

There you go.

​

When I’m working

I like to set

An intention.

​

I’ve heard it said

That the stones

Hold that

Intention,

​

And when somebody

Finds your cairn

They can feel it.

​

What are you

Thinking about

Today?

​

Hmm, that’ll do nicely.

​

Careful now,

We don’t want it to

Topple over.

​

I like to leave some space

So that somebody else

Can add to it.

​

This path may be winding,

But when somebody finds

Your cairn

​

They’ll realize

That they’re exactly where

They’re supposed to be.
