February is home, feet, no 1

Thanks to my friend Fiona a writer and amazing blogger and to Kaspa, who enthused me enough to get involved in a river of stones blog, along with hundreds of other writers.

I have spent January, observing daily moments in time. Now it's February, I am continuing 31 moments in time with a theme each month. For this month, the theme will be home.

What is home, what makes a home, is it the familiar, coming back after a day at work, having that sense of being able to let go and be yourself, a place to think, generate ideas and feel safe, running up and down those same stairs every day, routines of feeding the cat, let me know what you think?

Welcome, do take time to stay a while

Hi Ann Rapstoff here, this is a blog about writing momentary micro observations of life as it unfolds. I am an artist, coach, counsellor and student of life. I use words as a way of making images and sketches, writing enables me to play, develop ideas, communicate and record life. I thank my friend Fiona, who is a writer and blogger for galvinising me to get this going. Her daily practice of writing is a way of articulating the world around her. Do log into Fiona's blog and have a rummage, there is lots to explore. My art practice is not necessarily about making and its not so much materials either, although I dabble. It's a committment to living through really observing, moving through my body, interacting, communicating and experiencing. As this blog develops I hope you will join me and enter in the journey. Thanks so much, Fiona and Kaspa for offering me the opportunity to make my words public through Their development of a A River of Stones, throughout January and beyond, all are welcome. You can see some of my other work about spaces and places and more of my general artwork.
