Falling in love… with a place.
Finding peace in that space…
To be called from the inside out to be there…
where one’s own time stands still…
to just be, in the moment.
Westerwick, Shetland, UK.
Shetland, UK is one of those places for me. There’s something about this land that calls my entire being to this rock in the North Atlantic Ocean. I’m perplexed by my love for this place as it is treeless and trees move my soul like nothing else.
Yet there’s this energy that vibrates from this land that I cannot escape as I find myself returning time and time again…
Perhaps it’s the peat. Yesterday, I discussed the amazing powers of peat. This vibrant source of energy…capturing the product of our excesses.
The Deeps, Shetland, UK
Or the waters silent at the moment yet stormy the next; filled with abundant life below the surface.
A place where the old meets the new. Sheep abound providing a livelihood for so many on the island…
connecting with place…
falling in love with a space…
finding peace that nourishes the soul.
