The above is a list of my collection of crystals, rocks and curios. The system I use for “programming” these items involves researching their origins, qualities, and the folklore associated with each of them to gain a fairly rounded understanding of what they might mean to others. Then I assign them a single verb. I try to keep the verbs fairly vague and away from more powerful ideas; for example, I haven’t used “create” or “inspire” because, to me, those are much larger tasks. The idea is that they are helpful as a part of a bigger picture. When I look at them and hold them, I associate them with their assigned verb.
