To bear is to hold without owning — the quiet strength that steadies creation.
origins
Born of the first ground beneath the sky, the Stone of Bearing carries the memory of support.
When the world was still soft, she was the firmness that allowed form to stay.
In her weight, the patience of the earth found its name.
meaning
Endurance, devotion, stewardship.
This stone teaches that to carry is sacred — that strength is the art of holding without control, and of giving shape without demand.
today
A symbol of stability and care — the grounded heart that offers others a place to stand.
The Stone of Bearing reminds us that true power is quiet, found in presence rather than in display.
practice
Hold something in your hands — a stone, a thought, a name.
Feel its weight and let it rest in you, not as burden but as belonging.
Ask yourself: what in my life wants to be held, not solved?
endurance
The Stone endures because she knows how to stay.
Even as time wears her edges smooth, she keeps the memory of all she has carried — unchanged at her core.
