Casting Stones was written in May of 2025 for Matt Caputy. The piece is inspired by the imagery of casting stones across a still pond, drawing a metaphor from the resulting ripples to impacts on a person's psyche. The every day interactions we have with each other, even small moments in time, can have a massive impact downstream. Small ripples can compound into surging ocean waves, and a person can radically change for better or for worse.
