Alone time.










This natural stone stack or cairn (from the Scottish carn) evokes centuries old tradition from a wealth of cultures. From the highlands of Scotland, echoed in the inukshuk of the Artic Inuit and the stupas of Tibet, theses simple groupings of stone serve as directional markers or commemorative of history and culture. Also evoking safety, hope and friendship they were, of tradition, considered imbued with Spirit. May a touch of their quiet world enter your own.



When Kendall and I first went to Sedona we searched for positive energy ( hippie wanabees), didnt ever feel a surge, but I found a cairn. Now I find them often out in the middle of
no where on my walks. I knew they were markers of some sort, but always knew they had a deeper meaning. Mikell gave me a cairn for my birthday with the meaning. Funny how something so common can create a connection. So now when you stumble across one or mark your possitive flow of energy, remember me wishing you safety, hope and friendship.













This is what I see on my walks. I know Im weird but when your as crazy as I am these days you need to go look at something new. Its like a mini vacation I take with myself.

Mom, those pictures are beautiful! I love the moss on the rock, the cracked earth, and the stones stuck in the rocks. Inspiring and peaceful, I love it.
The stone cairns also represent an accomplishment. When you reach your goal, reach the top, remember to stack your stones for everyone to see!
I love you and I'm so happy you get your alone time, we all benefit!! You're so talented!
I love you!
