Journey Stone Contemplation

Another journeyman gave me a gift a long time ago.  A stone with a word craved in its polished face.  That world was SERVICE.  He told me to keep the stone in my pocket, and when I felt it there, meditate on what the word meant to me at that moment.

 

This simple gift has such a deep and long-lasting meaning.  There are real virtues that can be achieved and made part of our life's journey.  But more than that, when held over time and reflected upon, the particular virtue finds a special place within your heart and soul.
