Two stones.

Writing about the “Rags of Light” title of the blog, I remembered an old Rabbinical story I heard long ago, for which I have no chance of remembering the source:

A Rabbi used to tell his students to carry two stones in their pockets.
On one stone would be inscribed: I am dust and ashes.
On the other would be inscribed: For me the world was made.
