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!

Ah yes, the aquifer is not as deeply hidden as we think–nor perhaps should it be. Thank you for this intimate sharing.

For me, it always happened (and still can) in the grocery store. I see something and think, “Oh, I need to get that…for…” And then I remember. We all know the experience.

So true — I still have it regarding my grandmother (over 25 yrs), my dad (soon to be 8 yrs) and even my little fur-kiddos. All unexpected tender moments and/or memories!
