“Meeting a person at the surface, you may see only yourself, and the judgments you project, mirrored back to you. If you scratch just beneath the surface, you will likely find suffering there, in startling and impressive variety, which may spark your compassion. But if you go deeper, you will find richer marvels, creative impulses, signs of resilience, and courage. If you go deeper still, you will encounter grace, pure and simple. If you want to do "deep work," it helps to be willing to let grace amaze you.” - Gil Hedly
Cairns have been used by cultures from around the world to signify that one is on the correct path. In its embodiment, it is a symbol of both balance and impermanence, fragility and strength. In the creation of these markers, one must become mindful and quiet and pay close attention. The cairn represents the deep work that is counseling, stepping into a mindful place of paying close attention to oneself. They are both guide posts and the path themselves, and a symbol that I feel resonates with my counseling philosophy.
