Stone Soup

A stone soup is made by putting a clean stone in a large pot and filling it with water. A fire is started and the pot is placed over it. Each person adds a vegetable or meat or whatever they bring. It becomes a soup and the taste reflects the ingredients brought to the soup by whomever chooses to contribute. My diary is a stone soup made from the encounters both good and bad of the day.


THERE IS A RHYTHM

May 10 2008

There is a rhythm to the people here.   A tempo that changes with each person who finds this place.  Some stay for a while and then go.  I like to think they go on because they are doing so well they don't need the support any longer.  And are taking with them the melody learned. 

 Each new person's voice is greeted and greets in turn gathered up in the melody and adding it's own unique sound.  Welcome, help me, glad you're here, I am sad, I am happy, I am not sure what to think, I am sick, I am better, I wish he would love me, I hope she will come back, I feel angry, I feel nothing, I am crying for no reason, I am laughing for the same, I am so afraid to tell others, I am so filled with shame, don't you worry, you are fine, you are just like me, I am not alone??? No, you're not alone we are all here with you.  You will never have to be alone again.

 We sing together in greeting and sing to say good-bye......or see you later... we carry the song.

If everyone adds a vegetable why does the stone need to be there?
