Today is the first ever Mindful Writing Day. Fiona of Writing Our Way Home describes it this way:
How? Write a small stone by paying proper attention to one thing and writing it down. Know that people all over the world will be doing the same. Post it on your blog or Facebook or put it up on your fridge….
Why? Because writing small stones will stitch you to the world, one word at a time. They will point you towards the deep pink frilly roses in next door’s front garden, and the swooshing sound of trains in the distance. They will help you to fall hopelessly in love with the world.
My small stone for today is:
Writing my morning pages, I realize that silence isn’t quiet in our house. It’s clock ticking, heater whispering, refrigerator growling and popping, neighbor’s dog barking, dog at my feet sighing, thoughts chattering, pen scratching on paper.
Open Space Practice, (AKA: A Thousand Shades of Gray) 
Yes, silence has a way of not being completely quiet, doesn’t it?
Glad to see you also took part in Mindful Writing Day! 🙂
Yes, and you don’t notice it unless you get quiet.
I love your small stone … ’tis true … quiet is never really quiet. Mindful Writing Day was fun … I think writing a small stone per day is quite doable, don’t you?
Absolutely doable, Lissa. I took part last year for the January month of Small Stones, and I’m planning to again.
PS LOVE your photo header!
Thank you!
