My friend Joost, geologist by profession and  Taoist by choice, also does Zen-Stones as a form of entertainment. for those not knowing wat Zen-Stones is building a structurem, without glue, of stones that are place in a balance. There are siomple structures of 3 stones or a few more, and elaborate structures of 5 or far more stones. Although for many it is serious bussiness, for him it is play, in my eyes the right form of addressing these kind of phenomena. Bur play or serious bussiness, Zen-Stones is about form and beauty. The elegant dynamic balance that preserves the structure, but also loads it with a lot of energy, must be pleasing for the eye too. On a rainy afternoon we sat down, he to build the structures and I to make pictures of them. Luckily I could get myeself out of the way, because in a little time he had build about 10 structures of 5 or more stones, something that is not so easy as it seems. After the 2rd stone for those not experienced troubles lie ahead. But please have fun with the beautiful structures he build.
