Inception of a Garden Demonstration

All gardens begin with ONE rock. whether it is a single beautiful top-rock (focal point of a garden..?), or the first foundation rock I place.  Often in my experience, each rock that comes through my stream of consciousness, used or rejected, inspires the next, and the next, and so on (naturally).  The ONE rock in this case was another deep colorado red with jagged face, and middle kink.  Just yesterday the same rock was among my rejected.  I even made a comment to someone watching that this was a quintessential “top-rock”.  Rejected one day.  Inception of an entire garden the next.

The following video is a POV (Point of View) recording of me creating the first balance and focal point for an entire garden.. Enormous in magnitude. borderline insane?  It all starts here… The video demonstrates the trial and error that can sometimes be involved in getting the rocks in certain arrangements. I recommend the viewer has patience, as this shows 3 tries… 1 failed attempt. 1 finished attempt followed by a minor error. and then a 3rd attempt resulting in MAGIC… especially with the camera view and sunlight…                                  “Inception of a Garden”

    As one that has spent a lifetime in meditation, conscious Spiritual work, crystal grid work and rock collecting I am in gratitude and awe of the gift you have and have given to each of us as we view your passionate and beautiful ‘works’. I’ve seen rock cairns but never work like yours that looks to be impossibility and magic and yet is so much more because it is neither. You bring to the world a message defying limitation. I’ll be looking at my medicine wheel and rock landscapes in an entirely new way since discovering your site. Being a Michigander, my work begins with Lake Superior rocks, many beautiful and diverse relations from a time long past. Mitakuye Oyasin. May you be blessed more and more. Onesong.

    So inspiring.
    This is the proof that everything and everyone has its own point of equilibrium.
    One just has to find it !

  3. Patience is the key… There is a stream in Ashland’s Lithia park in Oregon (where the Stanley’s live) that has a whole garden of stacked stones… wonderful to come upon.
