In January, Red Room's Fiona Robyn invited everyone to participate in what she called a river of stones or NaSmaStMo by writing daily small stones. A small stone is writing about a moment in a day in which something stands out. A small stone is not quite a haiku since it doesn't necessarily...

Fiona Robyn's a river of stones project has added another dimension to the project. Fiona and her fiance Kaspalita are planning on an anthology based on the project and are asking for submissions. If anyone has participated in NaSmaStMo or even if they didn't, up to ten small stones can be...

Since I just posted my last stone for January 31 over at Fiona Robyn's a river of stones blog site, I will post it as well as yesterday's small stone. NaSmaStMo (also known as a river of stones) is just about over, but like others who also participated and plan on continuing, I intend to do the...

Many of my small stones, written for NaSmaStMo which is also known as a river of stones, concern snow and winter. I suppose if the month chosen for NaSmaStMo was different, my small stones would reflect that season, too. While we haven't had more snow than normal, we have had more continual snow...

Trying to do something a little different from my (typical) small stone for a river of stones entry, I came up with the following:
getting irritated by the sound of the ringing cell phone, only to discover it is mine
Too often we take in too much extraneous sound (the beeps and bells of phones,...

Although my small stone for my entry of a river of stones is for yesterday, today is my older sister's birthday. Her birthday is one of those that has a zero in it so I guess that makes her birthday one of those that most consider to be a milestone. Regardless, I hope she has a happy day spending...

NaSmaStMo, which is also known as a river of stones, continues until the end of the month although this exercise has made me more aware of the little things that are often ignored in my daily life. My small stone for January 25th is a reflection of this. Generally, I walk to the library, the bank...

For January 24th, my small stone for NaSmaStMo, which is also known as a river of stones is as follows:
water sluices down the run despite the cold, despite the snow overhanging the edges of the stream
The darkness of the water seems even darker when the snow hangs over it. With the cold...

The Burns Night Supper my husband and I attended was fantastic. There was dancing, singing, and the reciting of Robert Burns poetry. One of the highlights was the playing of Runrig's rendition of Loch Lomond; the other was the playing of 500 Miles--the young and old alike were rocking to those...

1-11-11...I love symmetrical numbers like this, but every day through the 19th is also symmetrical. Have you noticed that? I did when I was noting the date of my small stone written today already, but will be posted tomorrow. Once again, I digress from posting my small stone, which will probably...
