What are small stones?
What are Small Stones?
Small stones are an observed moment,
written down. My small stones were initially inspired by the River of Stones
project each January, which sees hundreds of people observing a moment or
experience in their day and writing it down for the month. They can then be
shared on blogs, Facebook, Twitter or just written in a notebook, on a pebble,
the loo roll... To find out more about the flow of this simple movement to bring
more presence and awareness into our lives, check out the following link: http://www.writingourwayhome.com/p/small-stones.html

Instead of opening an e-mail
Opening the envelope, unfolding a letter,
each page a different colour.
Following the curling trail of your words,
a smudge, a crossing out, a line sloping.
Unique dance of thought, hand, ink, paper...
this piece of you which crossed real space
to arrive with me to hold and breathe in,
faint sandlewood smell,
(incense burned while you wrote?)
this ritual richer now in its rarity.
Loving the slower journey which doesn't lose
the reality of your warmth, your heartbeat, you.

I really, really miss receiving letters. I still write them, but alas, the response comes in the form of an email.
