a pause mid stride to gasp at this stone resting upon the ground
now happily dropped into the depths of my denim pocket
soft curves . subtle colors create . balance . shadow . support . light . smooth
words on a page . mingle paper and stone . so we try . held in the palm of the hand
lining up stones . imperfect prose this day . held and loved

such serene beauty ...
ohhhh these rocks are amazing.....
thank you for your very kind words. I was thinking about that post for awhile. Blogging gives such great perspective on reality as it is happening. Your photos are wonderful. I love your moon photo and the happy shot of your daughter.
what a great heart-shaped stone - and using stones with words = fabulous
"When you find a heart shaped stone,
it means you'll never lose your way
back home." Beautiful words and
photos ELK! :D
I also love smooth river stones. The knocks of nature turning into beauty that nestles in the hand.
Lucky you to have found such a perfectly shaped stone. Love what you've created out of these ordinary 'rocks'. Terrific!
What treasures!
lovely.
We are a rock collecting family, so I know those heart shaped ones don't come by everyday. Lovely. Enjoyed this stone and paper meditation!
I have a basket full of all the beautiful rocks I've collected over the years. I don't think I've ever found a heart shaped one.
these are beautiful - the river rocks make a peaceful and serene backdrop to your craft. there is just something about holding a smooth rock in your hand, isn't there?
what beautiful treasures
Just seeing these stones
made my breathing slow
and go gentle
and deep;
how their beauty
does this to me
is beyond my understanding.
Just the idea
of their cool, smooth weight
calms and quiets.
Funny about stones:)
Thanks for the share.

So beautiful! A perfect heart ..... I wonder if it feels like an imperfect oval next to those other stones. Nah ........
oh my goodness this is a wonderful collection you have. i it's funny how certain rocks just catch your eye. i brought back 4 rocks from AZ and was so afraid they were going to take them from me in baggage check.
how do you do it? see love, always, in the every-day?
you had me at the first stone!
those pictures are beautiful. I love how God can speak to you through the humblest of things.
My hand is resting on my heart, reading your words, viewing your images...and my heart and hand feel very happy!
I love organizing stones! The one you found is perfect for your aesthetic.
nice those are cool rocks...particularly the heart shaped...a little reminder you are loved...
So beautifully simple. <3
Lovely! I especially love that twine wrapped rock...
Love the beautiful stones and your lovely words! :-)
so smooth to the touch and soft on the eyes, rocks have a way of finding their way into our pockets don't they. nice collection
:-)
I love this...I want to make a song rock.
I love this...I want to make a song rock.
What nice little handmade gifts those would be.
What a perfect heart! And I love the idea (and implementation) of singing rocks .. seems so appropriate somehow.
I love the heart rock. It actually made me gasp out loud.
A collector of rocks myself. The best place on the planet to find them are in Marathon Ontario's, Pebble Beach. But don't get caught, there are signs not to take any rocks.
I have a ever growing collections of stones - my son always bring me some from his walks with Dad. We fill up a jar, put them in the back yard and start over. One I'll keep forever - the one he reminded me, "say thank you!"
I love stones; they ground me. I often carry them around with me, rubbing them for peace and comfort. Your stones are beautiful!
even your flickr stream is delightful!
love the images, beautiful... and yes, grounding.
