Small Stone
On this specific day
I am most appreciative
No mandate to arise, dress
to tackle highway commute
In impenetrable fog
visibility less than ¼ mile
Entreating the season’s deer
Not to dart across the highway
Too swiftly for me to stop
Grateful on this day
Blessing my retirement
Today, surviving the commute
to attend a seminar
Continuing education hours
Fresh food for my professional brain
Rewarded afterward
Coffee treat
With my hubby
Mindful appreciation

What are small stones?
A small stone is a 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!
