Writing - Small Stones



Small stones are a way of incorporating both writing and awareness. Writing small stones is a lovely way to bring presence into our experiences through writing. They are short pieces that reflect a moment in time. They can be very enriching, and they certainly do not have to reflect only peaceful and happy moments, they can reflect any experience. I like to see them as a flow of words describing the present moment, rather than a poem. Once you try to structure them or analyze them, they begin to lose their magic. They are not meant to be critiqued or changed (although they can be polished), let them reflect the moment, in that moment, and let it create itself. More information about writing small stones can be found here.
