Cairns have long served as way-finding constructions in terrain where the trail may become unclear. These carefully stacked rock piles act as navigational aids and are trusted to guide the way in critical conditions, such as when dense fog or storms obscure the path. They provide direction in uncertain times.

These cairns are offered as places to pause and reflect, reminding us to focus on the waypoints in the storm and move with them. When we act in line with a purpose, the resulting shadows are long and contain a multitude of ripples.
