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

Be Quiet!

A boy unable to sleep
is singing in the next room
keeping me awake.
I lay in bed torn between
annoyance and cherishing,
noting how annoyance brings guilt
and cherishing brings bittersweet
awareness of change.
And that's how easily I slip
out of this moment,
into looking back at it
through imaginary future eyes,
tinted with fear of loss.
