Memory Keepers

[entwife]

Bones of the Mother
Hidden in the layers of her skin
Symbols of births and unions
We support, and pave the way
All that you dream of building
rests upon our firm foundation.
At every hearth and mantle
from smallest pebble
to highest cliff
We are mortar
We are pestle
Treasures revealed
when you patiently
pan and sift.
Still as a statue
Silent as a tomb
Wisdom and Memories
mined from Mother's womb.
We are hammer
We are chisel
the chip upon your shoulder
the floor and walls you erect
The key piece
holding it all together
Sacred lintels
Blessed cornerstones
Sculpted with respect.
We are the heat,
the blood, the anvil
at every single forge.
Forming the notes
of every melodic brook
Coveted and quarried
faceted, tumbled or polished
til we shine
Humble or precious
yet most often prized for how we look.
Vibrate to our frequencies
and our secrets we reveal.
We each carry our own lessons
and take our rightful place
upon the sacred Wheel.

Limestone or Marble?

I'm going to guess, just rocks - ore-bearing or not, precious gems or so common they're in every alley.

: you got it! The Singers here are the Stone Nation... each bears their individual message, but generally speaking rocks teach about patience, time, stillness, being grounded, stability, solidity, gravity, strength, permanence and foundations. In addition, many cultures believe that stones hold memories as well as being able to store energy.... the record keepers of our planet, imagine the stories a single stone might tell! One tale from Native Americans says that all the stories of the world, even the ability to tell stories at all, came from one Stone telling it's stories to one young hunter who came with offerings each day.
