Citations Quotidiennes

Every day I like ideally to walk a little, read a little, write a little, blog a little, cook a little, garden a little, meditate a little, love a little and eat a little Marmite. Oh, and learn a new word in French. It helps me keep sane and focused in an increasingly mad world.

Turnstone seeking sustenance in a shell.

A new month, a new beginning. A fresh intention is to enter on my Turnstone blog any striking, meaningful, illuminating, witty or inspiring phrase, line, poem or passage I've come across in my daily reading. Or perhaps something I've heard on the radio or eavesdropped in the street. You can click here for these small revelations.

Turnstone


I have a new blog. It's called TURNSTONE: Shards, Sweepings, Stealings, Sayings, Secrets. You can find it here.

I've been uncovering lots of quotations, ideas, thoughts, poems, jewels which there isn't room for on this blog. So I'm putting them on the new one. The posts will be short and frequently updated. Please take a look if you have a moment. I hope you enjoy and will revisit! Do tell me what you think, and feel free to comment.

The turnstone is a shoreline wading bird with black, white and chestnut plumage. As its name implies, it turns over stones - in a ceaseless quest for food.
