No, I'm not, it's just water, cleaning my eyes.

As I wake to the drops on my ceiling windows, forecast for days and days ahead, I will return again to reread your words and let my own flow into the well at the foot of the garden, flowing to the gravel bed, flowing to the Garonne under the canal, flowing to the estuary and then to the Atlantic to evaporate into that great atmospheric river again. Thank you for sharing your work in this wet wet world.

and right on cue the rain has just started here too...I love that water and words both flow between Orkney and Gascony.

Thank you, I'm so happy to hear this. Offering creative space for young people to think about their place in the world is such important and valuable work. I'm so happy to know my words are holding a space for you to replenish.

The horizon gazing thing reminded me of “The Star”, tarot card that reminds us how we have to look beyond to find that reassuring calmness we need to keep going forward.

I am overwhelmed by the immensity of water-words, fluid thoughts flooding the neural irrigation system of my mind. Seventy-six words in a sentence drowns my modest intellect

Good lord, did I really write a sentence that long? I need a good editor! 😂
