Read the following passage from THE SEVEN PATHS:
The world thinks of stone as something cold, something hard, something unforgiving.
That is what stone seems like in the dark—when we are cold, hard, and unforgiving.
And when we witness the damage that can be done with stone when it is wielded by those whose hearts are cold, hard, and unforgiving.
But stone is very different in the light.
Those who walk forward use stone as well, but they use it o help, not to injure—to create, not to destroy.
Our understanding, regard, and use for stone depends on our walking:
Walk forward in the light, and stone will be the means of delivering peace.
Walk backward in the darkness, and it will be the means of making war.
Consider: In what ways is your heart “walking backward?”
