"I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."

"The Wise Woman's Stone"
A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.

Hi Maria,
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon your blog while searching for reviews for Tuesday's Friends Without a Border fundraiser in LA. (I was invited to conduct a live painting performance for the evening). I am an artist, originally from San Jose, who has found a greater cause for my artwork through philanthropy. As you had mentioned in one of your posts... What a gift this has been. (Just in case you are curious, website is www.trinhmai.com :)
I'm not very in tune with the blog world, but I have been perusing through yours and I am utterly inspired! And so I have subscribed. Thank you for your positive energy. Very moving.
Also - I will be posting "The Wise Woman's Stone" on my site. Just beautiful!
Blessings,
Trinh Mai
