Three Stone Cutters : Heard from Rachel Naomi Remen

​Three Stone Cutters.
 
There were three stone cutters who worked side by side cutting rough stones of rock into shaped blocks which were then placed in the walls of a great cathedral. 
 
 “What are you doing?” the first stone cutter was asked. He replied, “What does it look like I am doing? All day I pick up one after another of these rough stones and shape it into a block for the cathedral”.
 
“What are you doing?” the second stone cutter was asked. He replied, “All day I pick up one after another of these rough stones and shape it into a block for the cathedral. This is a good job that provides a nice house, clothing and food for my family”.
 
 
“What are you doing”? the third stone cutter was asked. He replied, with an air of reverence, “All day I pick up one after another of these rough stones and shape it into a block for the cathedral. These blocks are building place that will be a beacon for humankind for centuries to come. They will come here and find solace and inspiration. There will be shelter and food for travelers and the poor here. It is a privilege to do my small part in such a noble undertaking”.
