It takes but one stone
To break the tranquility
Of peaceful slumber.
Nothing is ever the same, as the ripples of change spill like liquid silver across the water.
They roll in mercurial hoops, out towards the edges,
And yet, the hills and the sky, the sun and the water all remain.
The earth keeps turning
And our breath flows ever outwards and inwards
As we rest our feet on the soft green earth of Alba.

Hey there, from south of Sweden.
Hello back from Scotland 🙂
If a miss the day’s meditation, I’ll come back to this post (again and again).
What a wonderful thought…..
How do you do this?
You write so descriptively and beautifully, and the photo is gorgeous.
By the way, I was so glad to see your post … hope all is well.
Thank you, it’s lovely to get such praise 🙂
I couldn’t quite find my blogging mojo after my last holiday up to Lewis, but I have enjoyed the break. It’s been a funny summer full of change and it’s left me a little blue at times. It’s good to be back, but so many blogs to catch up on!
It’s so challenging when the blues seem to take hold of us. I’m very glad you had a nice break away and hope that you are feeling like you again soon.
No doubt about it … blogging is a joy and a job.
Take your time getting back. We’ll be here!
A serene meditation in words and picture.
A moment to pause while watching ripples is a moment well spent I feel.
You must do this often at your pink lake?
This is lovely, Seonaid. I always enjoy reading your thoughts. 🙂
Thank you, it was a beautiful moment halfway through a journey from East to West Scotland, taken just before the referendum vote 🙂
I love watching ripples, Seonaid 🙂
Me too Jo, especially in liquid light like this….
I fact water, ripples and waves are probably a necessity of my soul 🙂
As beautiful as always – a light in my day!
Too kind 🙂
It’s an image which keeps pulling me back into its soft tranquility.
It’s one of a series….
and nobody weeps for the poor, drowned stone.
But perhaps they do, deep beneath the ripples and waves….we just can’t hear them!
You captured that image magnificently. How do you always manage to do that??
I’m not sure that I do Kellie….but perhaps I only show the ones which worked 🙂
Trial and error is definitely my process!
The real frustration is when you can see with your eyes exactly what you want to capture….but it eludes the lens. This shot however did work…..pure Scottish magic!
What a lovely shot and beautiful words to go with it.
Thanks Judy….the photo makes me sigh out slowly each time I look 🙂
I’ll carry this with me through the day thank you Seonaid. Good to see you!
I plan on doing the same thing Gilly…..a bit of tranquil change never goes amiss 🙂
Your words and pictures are so serene… just what I needed! Very lovely.
Thank you Gwynn, that smooth tranquil feeling is such a gift when we can find it 🙂
So amazing and zen. Love it!
I was feeling quite zen as I stood watching those round ripples spill out over the mirror of Loch Awe 🙂
You have one on the most innovative and creative blogs on the internet. I appreciate your talent and creativity.
What a lovely comment Carol Ann, delighted to see you here 🙂
Your photo is beautiful – as well as the words you have written.
Thank you Colline. It was a beautiful moment, and we arrived at just the right time as the sunlight spilled through the clouds and low hanging mist. Everything was bathed in silence…..until the skimming stone 🙂
I enjoyed that. So well done. Your thoughts and your writing are important. D
Thanks David….it was an utterly peaceful and beautiful spot. Deep in the mountains between Edinburgh and Oban, in Scotland’s middle, and just enough light to awaken the mist 🙂
Stunning image and words of great truth
Thanks Suzanne….this was a moment of breathless beauty for me….and the rings from my husbands skimming stone added to the beauty. It brought movement to the stillness 🙂
Happy to read you again, I’ll soon catch up with your blog. Have a nice autumn. 🙂
I’m busy doing some catching up myself Rosa, it’s lovely to hear from you 🙂
Autumn is bringing her beautiful golden light to us….
