my beautiful week

At the beginning of 2010 I started a daily journal of small stones (inspired by Fiona Robyn). So far I am loving this activity and I've decided to share my 3 favourite stones every Monday in a weekly post called 'my beautiful week'.


Starting today:

I step into the sea on a grey New Year’s Day. As I collide with a small wave the spray comes up to greet me, my lips taste salt and hope.

A small green leaf discarded by its tree holds seven perfect raindrops; the morning light transforms them into jewels.

The heavy metal ball lands with a thud on the crunchy shells of the petanque court. My first attempt is not very close to the jack. Not very close at all.
