Etched in Stone

layers of love and

memory recorded here,

etchings bridge the gap

This is my first entry in many weeks -- the time in between full of all the deep work of my mother's passing, memorials, etc., and so much to catch up on. I hope to reintegrate the haiku & photography practice here again!

This week's One Deep Breath prompt is 'Boulders, rocks, stones & pebbles'. I've been something of a stone collector since a child, and stones* seemed a fitting expression of so much that we felt and needed to express...

(* This might be a good place to thank Claire (Claire Emery Wood Engravings & Illustration) --in 'favorite places to visit-- for her beautiful design on this memorial stone, and Barry Chandler & Janet Haarvig (Written in Stone) for finding the perfect stone for us, and the exquisite job of cutting the design into the stone. The result was deeply gratifying!)
