Inspiration Images for my Creative Stacked Paper

I remember when I was younger I saw a movie or tv show where these monks would try and stack stones and I wanted to be able to do it so bad! Unfortunately I did not have the discipline or patience to be successful in this endeavor, but maybe this time around I can be.  Stacking paper into stones and then stacking them on top of each other.


When I was a kid I actually used to collect rocks. My favorites were the ones with flecks of silver inside of them. I thought they were the prettiest the way the sunlight would relfect of the silver.

Reaction to Touching Articles

I agree with a lot of what is said in these articles. I especially agree with the section on holding hands. I know what they mean when they say, "hold hands as a tender bridge." Touching someone makes a connection beyond a physical one. Touching is a very emotional process. The absence of touching can be even more emotional. I was not surprised about how many studies were done where animals responded negatively to being separated from others and the lack of touch.
