Each Beaker Person receives a pebble as they enter the Moot House.
Archdruid: Today we're going to use these pebbles as a focus.
All: Ooh! Wonder what they're gonna be this time?
Archdruid: Symbols of the world, as surrogate out-of-season hazelnuts?
All: Done that
Archdruid: To be lifted in response every time someone says the word "love"?
All: Our arms are still sore from last time.
Archdruid: The Divine within us?
All: That was last week.
Archdruid: The weight of our sins?
All: But you told us "sin" was an outdated concept.
Archdruid: "Failings" then?
All: Did that last month. We dropped them all in The Holy Well.
Archdruid: Oh yeah. Caused all that flooding. OK... Symbols of prayer, to be dropped in a bowl of water?
All: There's one in the Prayer Corner, ready with its pile of pebbles.
Archdruid: Reminders of Peter, called the Rock?
All: Did that last summer.
Archdruid: Components of a very small cairn?
All: Good idea! We could build it next to the other 43 cairns.
Archdruid: Our hopes and dreams?
All: Over in the grove. Each pebble attached to its very own hope or dream.
Archdruid: The surface on which to draw a spiritual image?
All: Loads of 'em - piled up on the Spiritual Things Table.
Archdruid: Something to write a new name on?
All: A bit Book of Revelation.
Archdruid: OK. Shall we give the pebbles a miss?
All: We thought you'd never ask.
