A Friendly Project: Skipping Stones: Back to School Edition Sunday, September 12, 2021 7:00-9:30pm ET
Skipping Stones is a playful-yet-serious practice I do once or twice a year that allows me to have a time-travel conversation with myself about what’s important to me and what I hope to do, be, and experience as I head into the future.
You’ve probably skipped stones before, looking along the shore for flat, smooth rocks, and side-arming them with a little English across a river or lake.
Each interval makes an impact, visual and auditory; each contact with the water leaves a concentric set of ripples; each set of ripples emanates and interweaves with the others as the stone travels further and further away from where you launched it, finally sinking out of sight.
In my version of Skipping Stones, instead of searching for rocks to toss, I’m exploring my heart and mind for what matters most to me, what I value, what I want to feel more of, what I dearly hope for.
As a practice, it’s illuminating and powerful and surprising.
It’s orienting and organizing.
And this might be my favorite part of all: It’s fun.
