a river of stones -- January 8, 2012

The chocolate truffle is smooth and creamy within, and covered in cocoa powder without.  This handmade delight is one of twelve.  Only eight remain.  They live their short lives in a box adorned by a simple golden bow.

  1. Love the idea of the truffles "living their short lives." ;-)

  2. Thank you, Amy. I appreciate your reading my contributions to the river! I don't know if I'm doing this exactly how I should be, but I am having fun with it. And now for another truffle! xoxo

  3. Something similar sits on my desk and is being diminished in the same way.

  5. You know, although I think I very much understand and appreciate the guidelines Fiona and Kaspa have offered for "how to" write a small stone, I also think there's no bad way to take a moment to really observe something, in whatever form that observation takes, and then to write about it.

  6. Yes, Amy. I somehow came to a similar conclusion a couple of days ago, and am now less "hung up on it". So whatever comes is okay. Fiona's weekly message this past Friday was most helpful in this regard. I would link it here, but I'm not sure how...
