I came here via Alexander's postcard this week and what a splendid visual and lyrical feast! At the mention of the white horses, I was reminded of the mythical Mannanan Mac Lir, whose horses would transport the dead to the afterlife.
You've made me think differently about the wind, which at that kind of force simply makes me feel quite mad.
I missed last week's Life Raft session due to a power cut cos "storms"...and this week you/we clashed with my tapestry weaving zoom but your inspiration arrives in this gorgeous newsletter with all of the photography and beautiful reflections. I stood once on Mainland side of Birsay in a storm and felt the energy travelling through me as the two currents met and exploded at high tide. It was most humbling.
I hope to be in the space next Wednesday - I need to be in the space next Wednesday!
Growing up in the Midwest I knew only about whitecaps from the description of the sea in books, but a couple of years ago during a cruise through a part of the Western Hebrides I actually saw “white horses”!
Like a snake charmer, though I’m not a dangerous species of snake, the mix of your voice paired with stupendous images enthralled me. Now I feel right sized. With gratitude for you and your creations.
Your newsletter is such a treat.

Beautiful. The ocean’s inhalation.
This is potent. Thank you!

I am enjoying your writing, as well as seeing your visual work.
Your referencing has introduced me to some valuable new resources that I have followed up.
The Life Raft sessions have become a further important and complimentary space. The companionable working silence is gently powerful.
Thank you.

I saved this to read while drinking a cup of green tea. Savouring the flavour, and your words, is ten minutes of bliss. Thank you.
Thank you — this is beautiful.
I don’t have time to read this before bed but I like it on account of the title, already
Beautiful photos.
I loved listening to this. Mother Nature is so humbling.
