Of Living Stone asks us to consider and adopt the practice of continuous knowledge, one that binds communities/worlds together through common purpose and shared values. We often think of education or communication as the transfer of practical information from “the old” human beings to “the young,” but this is only one aspect. Learning, sharing and kinship are much larger and more profound. Knowledge changes and moves in all directions, through planes, times and beings that we can not consciously perceive— like ultraviolet light or the movement of stone. In this way, people, ideas, and traditions remain alive and relevant—not set in stone—as the past is honored by those living in the present as they prepare for the future.
