Traveling to Kenya, there were long flights and plenty of time spent in the airport. From this, I noted a few experiences that became a few small stones.
through my memory, I heard, "Meet George Jetson..."

I have not posted any small stones since January 10th since Rob and I have been in Eldoret, Kenya. I have not had any real Internet access since then so have not posted any, but that doesn't mean that I haven't been paying attention to my day and noting those small moments.
In...

Kaspa & I are getting married on Saturday the 18th of June, (yay!) and we’d love you to give us a special wedding gift by writing us a small stone on our wedding day.
We've made a video about it here. Kaspa has made us a brand new site at Wedding Small Stones, which has all the instructions...

I’m terrible at paying attention.
Sometimes, whole days go by in a blur. I look back and wonder where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing. What did I miss?

Following Fiona Robyn's suggestions of NaSmaStMo, that is writing small stones daily, here is my small stone for the first of January 2011, subject to revision...or shall I say, polishing and shaping?
New Year's warm spell...the gulls catch fish as they swoop and wheel with wings outstretched over...

A Red Room member and author, Fiona Robyn, has suggested NaSmaStMo for January, and is inviting readers, writers, and friends to join her. I won't be able to explain as she does; to learn more, check out her blog, A river of Stones, for full details. However, here is my take on it. Like the...

For several years, I have been writing daily short observational pieces I call 'small stones'.
My hope is that writing them will help me to to pay more attention to the world around me.
If I need to write something every day, then I'm more likely to walk around the world with my eyes, ears, nose,...
