found-art tuesday : rock my world
Imagine a world in which we stumble upon meaning. And beauty. And care-taking. Found art.
When I first met Kim Mailhot at a reading in New Hampshire beautifully orchestrated by Debbie Kelley, I knew. I knew that she was special. There was a light emanating from inside her as she walked around the restaurant where I would read, jam-packed full of people that Debbie had invited, offering people an opportunity to choose a rock.
A beautiful, smooth stone with a saying on it. I've written before about the meaning of the one I chose that night, the way in which it spoke to me.
"I leave these rocks for others to find," Kim said. At the base of the Eiffel Tower, in small spaces where people walk by, in hotel rooms.
I love the idea of creating a world in which we stumble upon meaning. In which we leave behind the stone someone else might need. In which we serve as angels for each other.
Kim has created Life is a Verb rocks for us to leave behind. I hope you'll join in the fun.
