ROYAL clicks...rocks picked

a solid instrument, revisited at a friend's gathering

pressing firmly, one key, one click at a time
one word at a time, thinking about the wrapping of rocks
here's the Random stream of words I 'pecked' out of the Royal:

ROCK ROCK rock rapt
enraptured, emotionally carried away
wrapped, embraced, tied up together, gifted
courted    cared for   taken home


life transitions, life's hidden released,
cared for in the carrying, 
enrapturing your self in the process


rock ROCK stacked   paired   coupled
kept waiting for the right one
heavy load    CHOSE.    step.  set. stack.  WAIT.


Wander     Return     Layer   Lay on, Return
rock, Rapt, wrapped:      when it's right
smoothed   balanced    topple    tumble   
touch
lightly
bind   bound   bumped    toppled
wrapped rapt enraptured by rocks


water stream     mountain flow 
sandy,  ripply,   left by the wind
water feathered,      waves washed. 
carried with great Motion


embedded quartz
    bedded-down to rest
home   rest  Repeat...Rinse    rocks.
recovered   honored   simply given


Shared with Grace


LAKE MICHIGAN ROCKS, above and below, 2010
PLENTITUDE
what a difference a year made


how to CHOSE?

SAME BEACH, 2011....how to FIND?



aw, A GROUP...chose all and consider the weight

SOME ARE ALREADY "SPOKEN FOR"

some come home with me. some leave together.
