Rock Cairns


From Ye Journal of Mad Anne Bailey, Frontier Heroine:

A Letter!

"27 March 
Dearest Anne,

Whilst traveling in the far west I had the fortune to travel a pathway defined by rock cairns. These wonders of western travel are created by travelers stacking rocks one upon another. They are a symbol to guide those who would otherwise not know the way. 
Each magnificent rock cairn is devised by the strength and knowledge of many, the power of one, and a careful balance of similar but differing objects..."

More of Anne's Journal at the link above. I love this woman and admire the woman of her portrayal.

and I love these words:
By the strength and knowledge of many, the power of one, and a careful balance of similar but differing objects...
Isn't that how we cast!
