Marbles left behind in a grave.
Collecting marbles is a game and the person with the greatest skill is the winner.
I looked down and there was a giant glass marble.
I have no idea what it means.
The pebble may go back 6000bc years to a community in turkey that left pebble size figures of mom and pop at the grave sites.
We are an ancestor friendly people.
Once i had not found a marble in quite a while and was mulling that over while walking my dog.
I have found over 30 marbles over the past 6 or 7 years.
Winning at marble collecting requires practice and knowledge and is not child s play.
Marbles have not been particularly meaningful for me in the past so i was curious as to why they showed up in my meditation.
Then i read the part in your story about how merle said that your marbles symbolized gathering insight and making progress towards your goals and everything clicked for me.
I find marbles too.
Identifying rare marbles requires playing with the big boys by reading their books attending marble shows and shopping where you can engage in.
With regard to history all and i mean all rabbinic comments are suspect.
Additionally sometimes coins are left as a down payment for the deceased a promise to buy their comrade a drink in the afterlife.
Thanks for the comment.
It s nice to visit the grave and see the stones are still there and shows the person isn t forgotten.
