Creativity and a small stone

Creativity...
Yesterday I was one of three judges
who had to judge wearables,
on their creativity,
at the fair in a nearby town.
It was the second round of judging,
as construction had already been judged.
All the wearables were
made by 3rd graders
up through 12th grade.
Of course it was divided up
into different catagories
and different age groups
throughout.
Sometimes judging
on creativity alone
is a difficult thing.
I was blown away
by the talent
of such young people.

What does being
CREATIVE
mean to you?

Fiona Robyn,
the originator of
a River of Small Stones,
states...
"A small stone is
a polished moment
of paying proper attention."

My 'stone' photo...
This photo was taken on Cape Cod National Seashore.
The beach is covered with small stones.

NOTE
I mentioned before that
my stones do not necessarily
relate to my stone photos.
The small stones that I write
are from observations
made here at home,
on a daily basis.

My small stone for today...

Noble live oak,
winter green and full,
acorns have fallen
to its base,
adorning the shadow quilt
of speckled light,
on saplings
wee and delicate.

I do like the idea of your stones. I am starting to collect little houses - America seems to have little ones - very hard to find in the UK! Thanks for your message on my blog xx

I am beginning to realize that you are writing a book that begs to be created and illustrated. Beautiful. Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
