"The key is to be here, fully connected with the moment, paying attention to the details of ordinary life. By taking care of ordinary things-our pots and pans, our clothing, our teeth- we rejoice in them. When we scrub a vegetable or brush our hair, we are expressing appreciation: friendship toward ourselves and toward the living quality that is found in everything."

Small stone catch up


January 13 - Friendship 
Crunchy bread rolls 
coated in fine loose white flour 
dusts chins and 
sprinkles laps;  
constant conversation  
bubbles freely 
oblivious. 

January 14 - Family 
Smiling faces and arms anxious to embrace, a wandering gypsy is welcomed back into the familiar family fold.
