Marbles have not been particularly meaningful for me in the past so i was curious as to why they showed up in my meditation.
Marbles left behind in a grave.
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.
Once i had not found a marble in quite a while and was mulling that over while walking my dog.
We are an ancestor friendly people.
It s nice to visit the grave and see the stones are still there and shows the person isn t forgotten.
Thanks for the comment.
I find marbles too.

I have found over 30 marbles over the past 6 or 7 years.
These maybe our source people for our spiritual customs.
Identifying rare marbles requires playing with the big boys by reading their books attending marble shows and shopping where you can engage in.
I looked down and there was a giant glass marble.
I would also like to do that.
Additionally sometimes coins are left as a down payment for the deceased a promise to buy their comrade a drink in the afterlife.
With regard to history all and i mean all rabbinic comments are suspect.
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.
I have no idea what it means.
No matter what the original intention of the coin leaver may be it seems clear that a coin left on a headstone is a symbol of remembrance and respect.
