A note to any who would like to follow Salt, Smoke, and Stone,

and to the many who already do

{A gracious hello to you.}.

Today is a significant day–

No more ads.
Phew.

And yay!
So. Cheers to this renewal of an invitation,

an invitation to join in relationship with the words

and alllll that underlies them;

more is now possible.

Welcome to all who follow. 

A bit more information can be found on the About page. Course, that may change too . . .

Enjoy the journey ~

Blueberries in peace

Wanting to eat blueberries in peace,

I continue walking.

“Welcome to the Labyrinth.”

As if I needed the sign.

Parking bum on stone

among alyssum, chamomile and

orange blooms of nasturtium,

bees waft in and buzz by.

Sun warms back, verbena wavers,

dragonfly hovers a while.

Between lavender and me

a garden’s worth of world greens up

in the closing weeks of summer.

the solitude of wonder

As I dive, blind, into this new project, I laugh at the perfect imperfection of creating it. Not knowing the language of computers, grateful for the fairly intuitive design of the site, confused (still) about proper effective comma usage, I sit with wine and music with the larger thought- how to convey the solitude of wonder, the continental uplift of my small world. A rugged new mountain range forms as the familiar landscape violently deconstructs. I savor the question of what I aim to do here, why I’ve taken this on, especially now, and what I might offer those sharing the story with me. I may continue to savor that a long while, allowing the natural definition of being rooted in grace to lend its form to me. Forced words are caged butterflies. I prefer to invite the unknown to speak through me. Together, we shall learn and create something beautiful.

The creation of this space~

About:
Rooted, embodied, bound, nourished.
In.
Grace, the Infinite, artful movement, the expression of silence.

A gathering of the ephemeral and the limitless.

A medicine of word.
