Sacred Stones: How the Power of the Earth Can Change Your Life
Publisher: Adams Media Corporation
Avon, MA
2005, 271 pages

This book teaches us about our sacred connections—to spirit, to self, to memory, to imagination... to deep archetypal urges. In this book, which is the sequel to Sacred Feathers, author and editor Maril Crabtree offers a collection of stories, poems and meditations from over 75 authors about how stones—from the tiniest pebble to the largest monument—have influenced and guided us during pivotal moments in our lives. Pagliari is the contributing author of “A Stone from Ground Zero” in this book.
