Nature, Slow

Slowly Seeking Sea Glass

It amazes me, even though I was bought up beside a beach on the North West coast of Ireland, I did not know that sea glass existed until I had a lovely Summer afternoon by the sea with my neighbour Ciara.

The view from Little Dog on Big Dog walk. Big Dog The view from Little Dog on Big Dog walk. Big Dog and Little Dog are named after two hills. 

Legend has it that these hills are named after Bran & Skeola, two wolfhounds that were owned by Finn McCool. The story goes that one day while out hunting they gave chase to a witch who turned them into stone 🧙‍♀️🐕

I enjoyed the view on the way up, but, it was too misty to see anything from the top ☁️

How I go to the woods Ordinarily, I go to the woo How I go to the woods

Ordinarily, I go to the woods alone, with not a single
friend, for they are all smilers and talkers and therefore unsuitable.

I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds or hugging the old black oak tree. I have my way of praying, as you no doubt have yours.

Besides, when I am alone I can become invisible. I can sit on the top of a dune as motionless as an uprise of weeds, until the foxes run by unconcerned. I can hear the almost unhearable sound of the roses singing.

If you have ever gone to the woods with me, I must love you very much.”

How I love this poem by Mary Oliver ❤
