Flesh and Stone

The Touch 2

        This is how to save the soul of a city. Lay down some stone slabs and move around on them. The rain, through their pores, lets the stains seep through. They absorbs the heat to the depths. Let the ground breathe.

 

Make the affinity work with a greater appreciation of the sophistications inherent in tradition. If you are still thirsty for inspiration, go and see a good film like 'The Russian Ark'.It is to do with The Touch that appeals to the most discerning. It is the 'i' thing that was behind a successful marketing campaign. Believe! The flesh is weak but the will is strong. If it is true then this is as good a summary about stones as we may get. The will is the path of all desire. In a city, the stone, the static force, the rough touch, the beautiful colour, the changing hue, represents desire, the power of nature, the molten rock, the strata of time, all that and much more.
