Mindful Writing Day

Lately I have been participating in writing haiku, journalling and writing small stones. I stumbled across the concept of writing small stones at www.writingourwayhome.com. 'A small stone is a short piece of writing that precisely captures a fully-engaged moment'. It is a way of writing about a mindful moment. Today I was watching the kangaroos at our back fence, lazily enjoying the day. Have you ever had the chance to stop and watch them? I was fasinated with how slowly and languidly they can move they seem to be really present in the moment, unlike we humans rushing from one place to the next.

She scratches her arm
so slowly
looks at it gently
then slowly
lowers herself
onto the grass
and rests
with the mob
