Small Stones – Jan. 4, 2015

…..Becca Givens writes a Small Stone is “short piece of writing (any style) that precisely captures a fully-engaged moment for you. The process of discovering small stones is as significant as the finished creation. Searching for small stones encourages you to keep your senses on the “alive and alert” status. Involve yourself with a new set of eyes, ears, nose, mouth, fingers, feelings and mind. In short … OPEN, OPEN, OPEN!”

Here is my attempt at a ‘small stone’

A New Day

The rain shatters the morning quiet

Darkness shrouds my bed

I lie there forcing myself to rise

Today is the day I dread

My son leaves us and 

Returns to his new homeIMG_2161

Sunday Tree – 158

…..now that we’ve officially had our first snow storm most of the trees have been stripped of their leaves

I’ve always been a huge fan of bark. I love the texture, the subtle colours and the interesting lines that bark produces.
