Roll Away the Stone-Mott the Hoople

What a wonderful day
out and about
happy...I think?

I collect stones...
wherever I go
then I place them around the yard, in the garden, by the fence, near a bench in the back by a tree.

The special ones find a place inside my house.

I have collected so many that I had to start writing the place that they came from on the bottom...
in Sharpie.
When I need to get back to that special place I grab it tight and hold on.
It's sorta cool, for me at least.


Stones are better than shells
or matchbooks,
or ashtrays

Today I should have grabbed one
wasn't even thinking...
A memory in stone is a good memory
unless it's my gravestone I guess!

"Won't you roll away the stone
Why be cold and so alone
Won't you roll away the stone don't you let it lie"
