I'm a little bit sad that...

I'm a little bit sad that this month of small stones for the river has come to an end.  I missed a few days recently but otherwise was quite diligent in throwing something in, as it were.  The quality varied, and I saw that (and I think it was on one of Kaspa's posts on WOWH that I read this):  focusing on the words really does get in the way, that to focus on feeling the experience one had would best capture the essential spirit of that experience.  And so it was that *not* caring about the wording, yielded (I thought) my best offerings.  These seemed few and far between, but....that's okay.  I want to thank everyone:  especially Fiona and Kaspa, and all the guests who contributed their advice and experience regarding this endeavor.  I found out about this writing challenge through my friend Amy, and am grateful for her help in getting me set up.  I also appreciated the comments I received.  Everyone made such great contributions to the River --- it's been a real inspiration!  I've also very much enjoyed getting the WOWH newsletter.  Thanks to everyone, it's been a wholly worthwhile experience.  I hope to continue with it as I am able.
