Stones can be found everywhere on the planet.

 Solid beauty and a sense of permanence permeate the gravity defying dance they achieve when used in mobiles. Most of these stones were found either in the Great Lakes or from a basket of polished stones I was bequeathed from a dear friend who died on my birthday last year.

Stones can have meaning. A common practice on the Camino Santiago is to lug along a "sorrow" stone that you leave at the Cruz de Ferro. I will be carrying one or two.
