this past week i planted flowers at the cemetery for my late husband. it is our custom to place small stones on the headstone to mark a visit. i tidied up all the stones left over the last twelve years, many of them just like the ones in the photo here. beautiful photo ELK
It's interesting to hear that these stones have so many different meanings for people. For me they remind me of learning to skip stones on the river with my father. The search for the 'best' stone was always my favourite part.
Ooo...this had my toes tingling, Elk! ;o) smooth.pure.solid.unique... that could define the rock, and us too, yes? I think that. As ever you bring us the moment where the ordinary and extraordinary meet. :o) ((LOVE & HUGS))

I love the smooth dark stone against the delicate embroidered cloth. And we are all that, true.
Oh..I love this!! The images say so much more than words every could!
