ONE SMOOTH STONE


Rediscovered
I may have even placed it there myself decades ago when we were a real 'community'
and raised money to plant the ten original trees on the block
Soaked and scrubbed
Rust left a mark
 ~*~
(Switched to a warmer light source for these next shots)

A strip of tar and something else made marks
I made some marks
In a world of uncertainty and strife, something about a stone seems right.  It's the past in my hand.  The future?  Who knows.

and there is no single word that gives it meaning."

Oh Michelle...I love this. The stone, so solid...so honored. You have no idea how I enjoy hearing your voice. I was telling my sister of Andy Goldsworthy!
