The Oneness newsletter I mentioned in my last post also had an article about a reader who wrote in to say that she carries a small stone in her pocket at all times:
"I carry a stone in my pocket to remind myself to maintain mindfulness and compassion. I liken suffering to stones that we are under the weight of, and how sometimes we try to get rid of our stones by casting them at others. However, thrown stones rather than relieving suffering only multiply and create more suffering.
When stones are thrown at us, if we can avoid throwing stones back and instead, deal with the situation compassionately, this can help others learn to put their stones down."
