The cracked spine of the book
digs through my palm
The rustle of the pages
brittle with age
The musty odour wafting up
Yellowing pages and faded words
mingle with the bitter coffee
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. This is Mindful Writing at its best.

Writing ‘Small Stones ‘ is a mindful way of living and expressing. I enjoy capturing these little moments very much. Perhaps you would like to try it too, especially with all the nature photographs that you post. Thanks so much for reading 🙂

This is lovely. Brought up a clear image of an old, hardbound book in my mind’s eyes. Kudos!
