Some of you may remember that I am doing a month of
“small stones.”
It’s a practice in awareness, noticing life,
both inner and outer,
as it happens…

The homey smell ofa cooked meal
that lingers
in the house,
smelled again
upon entering…
Memories of the smell of
my grandmother’s home…
The smell of love and warmth…
Warm fuzzies…
Snowing like soft white rainmelting as it hits the ground,
leaving shiny black pavement
and the swish sound of wetness
from the tires..
Lovely lyrical violin music
on the car radio
The Heart’s delights…
Loving the sounds of the housethe sounds of a day…
The washing machine
the dryer
the furnace
the creaking
A plane overhead
A dog barking
The sound of peace
The sound of silence
behind the noise
Contentment…
Experiencing the gapof twilight
a transition…
an opening of the heart…
an awareness
of life
so complete
my heart quakes
like the leaves
with its sweetness…
sounds like a wonderful view of the world, warm and full with awareness of life's small details. lovely little stones.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carole... :)
DeleteI have always loved the sound of washer/dryer and furnace doing their thing. When I read about your twilight walks "Just a Song at Twilight" enters my mind hum. LOL.

Maybe it's our "domesticity", but there is something rhythmical and warm about those sounds...
DeleteI don't recall that song - will have to look it up :)
Thank you Suki...
I am so happy to be here to witness this love today, Christine. It is in the small, ordinary-extraordinary things where so much love often resides. :o) Those heart stones are wonderful... and so is is this series--very inspiring! Happy weekend, my friend ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteThank you Tracy :) Yes, the awareness of the ordinariness of just life, just the little sounds and sights of life sometimes tickles the Heart :) I'm so happy you are enjoying it too :)
DeleteI love them all, and what a wonderful view of this beautiful world!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cate for visiting and leaving your lovely trace... :)
DeleteThe leaves in that final photo look like little fluttering hearts to me. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThey are! :) They are the leaves of the cottonwood tree and they are heart shaped! They are all around here...
DeleteThank you for reminding me of the magic of the EVERYDAY, that it, too, can be extraordinary; this is a lesson I frequently lose.
ReplyDeleteMe too :) It's amazing what one notices when one is being aware...
