Find some rocks or pebbles that speak to you on a beach, in a stream, or on a hill. Ask their permission to take them home. Then in a ritual of gratitude toward these gifts, write an evocative spiritual word on each one — grace, peace, hope, beauty, love, etc. Keep these pebbles on your altar, in a table centerpiece, or on your desk. Or carry one in your pocket.
