Three small stones...

I had a VERY busy weekend with the Grow Your Blog party (so much fun!), so the small stones* rather slipped from my grasp...

So today, you have 3 for 1 - aren't you lucky?? 
(Maybe judgement should be reserved till you've read them...)

Saturday's suggestion was 'write a small stone about something vulnerable or fragile...


(the only Misty Mawn painting I own - 
my treat to myself when eventually I re-learnt to use the computer in 2008)

Fragile wings
Settle on a delicate shoulder;
Hold this moment,
Before it fades.

*************

Sunday's prompt: 'Look up into the sky to write your small stone today'...


Today's sky?
Heavy grey, rain, hail...
Thank God for memory
And hope.

**************

And finally...

'Today you could write your small stone about yourself, or about what's around you after sitting quietly for a few minutes'.


Suddenly I got very creative with Picasa...

Enjoy your Monday - Beautiful You...

* I forgot to add the usual link to the Mindful Writing Challenge - sorry!

  1. Hello dear Claire
    Oh I love this post.
    Your Misty Mawn painting is gorgeous and I know you get so much pleasure from it - I've been one of her fans ever since I found Creative Workshops (http://www.creativeworkshops.typepad.com/) where she had classes - I'm not sure if there's still one on offer there.

    I love the quote at the top of your blog by Altijd-Lente - I feel the the sacredness reading this post.
    I want to know more about these stones - I've got lots more reading to do here I can see - I'll be back!

    Hugs

  4. Such a great post, I am like Shane wanting to know more about these stones. I like the thought of doing a snippet of writing each day to really get in touch with what is in our heart. Glad to have found your blog through GYB party.
