A Pile of Stones
September 23, 2011
Molly’s daughter, Haley, writes for a blog calledDeeper Story. Today she’s written on judgement, both the way we judge others, and the smoke screen it casts as we judge ourselves. Here’s a bit of what she’s written…
A pile of stones at my feet. The accused are lined up before me.
I feel the pores of the rock against my palm. It is heavy in my hand. Weighty.
“Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone.”
I grip the rock tighter, running through a mental checklist of the sins of the accused.
“Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone.”
“They need to learn,” I think, words ripping through my brain as the sweat from my palms seeps into the crevices of the rock. “How else will they know they can never measure up?”
