The idea of the pebble at the bottom of the river is powerful and immediately resonated with me as a way to approach meditation. Thank you for that!
And I particularly appreciated the last image, given I seem to be in the process of bonding, finally, with Maine, and it's (no real surprise given its insulating, quiet quality) the winter that's making it happen.
As to how to read poetry, I think I'm learning How To Read Oleg -- reading one section at a time, and then coming back to the next one after a bit, rather than all at once, so each section can rest on the bottom of the lake for a bit before moving on to the next.
