Getting around
I've been having a lot of fun showing the Stone to various groups I teach, of all ages and backgrounds, and to colleagues and friends, and seeing the reactions. Colleagues have also 'borrowed' it to use in class and to show to their own familes and friends - and one, a cellist on the side, has been 'giving it a wee break' by playing to it!. Some who see it and hear about it are most impressed by the workmanship, others by the story of the Sconestone, some by its travels, others by the 'pledge of kindness' aspect - but one thing they all have in common - they just can' t wait to hold it once they see it, and are more than happy to pledge (extra) deeds of kindness in return.
After its outing at the ELTA Members Day (see last blog) the Sconestone actually made it to cover picture status in the autumn edition of the magazine, and there are pictures of members pledging deeds of kindness.
It's very gratifying to see how engaing an item the Stone is wherever you take it, and how people , however sceptical or mystified initially, somehow warm to it and its purpose once they actually get their hands on it...
I think there must be an awful lot of kindness spreading around this part of the country these days!
