Small Stones – Jan. 4, 2015

Posted on January 4, 2015 by Mama Cormier

…..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 home

…..when high winds and age don’t mix well

These poor trees snapped right at the base of the root. I’ve never seen one go down like this. They usually lose large branches or split down the middle.

…..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.

…..join Becca Givens and me and post your favourite tree this Sunday

The neighbouring tree looked like this one a few short weeks ago. One heavy downpour caused a few major limbs fell to the ground. It was clear that the tree had been infested and eaten from the inside out. Today it is a mere shadow of its glorious self.
