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.

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 ❤ . . . #poems #poemsofinstagram #autumncolours🍂🍁 #autumnvibes #forestpath #slowliving #simplethings #lovewhereyoulive #thatvelvetfeeling #maryoliver #thequietwilderness
