Kaspa & Fiona have taken over my blog for today, because they need our help. You may remember that I took part in their ‘A River Of Stones’ (AROS) project back in January.
They are both on a mission to help the world connect through writing. They are also getting married on Saturday the 18th of June.
For their fantasy wedding present, they are asking people across the world to write them a ‘small stone’ and post it on their blogs or on Facebook or Twitter. Here’s a few words from them:
A small stone is a short piece of observational writing – simply pay attention to something properly and then write it down. Find out more about small stones here.
If you’re willing to help, we’d love you to do things:
1) Re-post this blog on your own blog any time before June the 18th and give your readers a chance to hear about what we’re doing. You can simply copy and paste the text, or you can find the html here.
2) Write us a small stone on our wedding day whilst we’re saying our vows and eating cake, post it on your blog, and send it to us.
You can find out more about our project at our website, Wedding Small Stones, and you can also read our blog at A River of Stones.
We also have a July challenge coming soon, when we’ll be challenging you to notice one thing every day during July and write it down.
Thank you for listening, and we hope we’ll be returning from our honeymoon to an inbox crammed with small stones, including yours.
Kaspa & Fiona
Even if you don’t have your own blog you could still write a stone and post it to them at the link above, or on facebook or twitter.

I Think the fellows in Green Day are awesome!
The song " know your enemy" says a lot!
silence is the enemy.... Ya gotta know your enemy....
So rally up the demons in your soul...
Great stuff! I also Love the Song 21 Guns Particularly the version of it on the broadway Cast recording of American Idiot....amazing!

Have you ever had a day.....
Have you ever had a day where you are bombarded by random thoughts that stir up memories from the past? It happened to me just the other day. In the middle of dictating a test to a bunch of students I was struck with an image from a long time ago...
It was a frigid Christmas Eve evening; dark and cold. I was young,maybe five or six. My family had gone out somewhere together to pass the evening before Christmas. We were on our way home and I remember laying down in the back of my grandfather's big, beautiful, black, Buick Riviera. It had black leather interior. It was HUGE! I was not, so it was easy for me to stretch and look out of the car door window and up at the cold night sky as the bright full moon seemed to be following me home...on a cold Christmas Eve...The black leather of the seat under my head was cold. I could see my breath in the air by the moonlight in the car before the heat from the heat vents reached the backseat. I just lay there watching the moon chase me in my "Pop,Pop's" car on A cold Christmas Eve...and I fell asleep.
Now I have no idea why that image would pop into my head in the middle of a test in April almost forty years later...but there it was. the image is so strong that it has not left me yet...So I had to write it down...I could probably draw the image of the moon floating by the car door window...Do you think it's possible to capture the warmth within that frigid evening? The contrasts it presents is an interesting thought! shoot! I can almost smell my grandfathers pipe too!
