I really love balancing stones.
-
Mostly because I think it's such a great way
-
to also balance myself.
-
And to create something beautiful at the same time-
-
Even though
-
a little wind is enough to make it look
-
like your sculpture never was there.
-
But in this moment,
-
as I try to find a tiny, tiny little balance point,
-
my thoughts are completely silent
-
and that's a very good feeling.
-
Sometimes it only takes a couple of minutes
-
to make a balance
-
and sometimes an hour.
-
But when it's done
-
I love to watch the stone balance.
-
It looks so still and quiet
-
in a world that is constantly moving.
-
Very often
-
I see people commenting that it's fake,
-
that it's impossible to do this
-
and that it's photoshopped or glue.
-
But I kinda get excited about those reactions,
-
because it's a proof that there is so much more
-
in this life than we could ever imagine.
-
If some people think that this is impossible,
-
Imagine then how many more things there is in life
-
that we still think is impossible
-
just because we never really tried it.
-
Just because we're already put the frames
-
on what is possible or not.
-
I also get a lot of questions about how to learn this
-
and my advice is:
-
Just go get out there, find some stones,
-
play around and have fun.
-
After a while, you will get to know the stones
-
and get a feeling of how to balance them
-
in the best way.
-
And you will learn to see which stones works best together.
-
You might spend a lot of time trying
-
to balance a stone that will never balance.
-
But you learn something every time
-
and it's a wonderful way of spending time in nature.
-
Depending on what kin of stone balance you're doing,
-
the balance point can be really tiny
-
So the movements that you do
-
while adjusting the stones
-
to find the balance point are so tiny
-
that you can barely see it with your eyes,
-
you just feel it with your hands.
-
And when you finally find that tiny balance point,
-
the gravity will be there for you
-
to hold your stones together.
