Studying sociology in college, I spent a fair amount of time looking at the education system and studying learning styles. It really pulls at my heart strings to receive a message like the following..! rock balance is so simple and engaging
in a time when so many things move increasingly fast. It is a great way for students to practice being present in the moment, which I’ve come to realize is one of the more valuable practices in life, so far. Can be applied to wilderness therapy programs… so many possibilities..
Thanks, Denise for sharing! :)
“I am a teacher and artist in Vermont who has worked with children for almost 20 years. I just wanted you to know that your work has been exposed to some of our 4th graders thanks to a teacher who (besides me) loves rocks and values their place in our life. She has shared some of your photos and the kids have been ALL over it…They are continually bringing in rocks to school and trying their skill at balancing them….You have made a HUGE difference in the way these kids are thinking and I thank you for that!”
The Strong/Silent type
i just love the shape of this top rock. as soon as i found it, the first place i looked was the sharp point it is standing on. and fate would have it, that there was a perfectly tiny balance point to rest on. pure equanimity. I call it strong and silent because the precision of balance really makes this arrangement speak loudly, while remaining completely silent..
