Buddha Throws Stones
As the Poet Looks On
"Perhaps if we toss stones into the Abyss, we’ll fill it up to the top, and no one will ever have to fall again," the poet said. "Dirt and rocks and seeds and a pleasant deluge of good intention could grow a garden of Heavenly delights."
So Buddha cast the first stone.

The Decrepit Copse
Zilch wandered down from the mountain after discovering an indescribable treasure at its peak. An old juggler dared him to climb the mountain, but first gifted him a magic cap. Zilch felt silly wearing it—it was a jester’s hat, after all!—but it bestowed physical strength, endurance, and a level of awareness that helped him avoid and overcome the dangers of the mountain paths.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Love the twist on "casting the first stone" as brave and visionary ☺
I like this idea of stones being cast in a way that is not to cause harm.
Ah this was so profound, hopeful and optimistic! Loved it!
