Becoming…
Welcome to a place of possibility… a liminal place… on this island’s edge
where spacious gentleness undermines the anxieties of that other world
A place of wind and water, sun, cloud, rain and rainbow…
where birds and animals share the solitude…
where tide and silence ebb and flow, in heart to heart union…
where our lives mingle in communion with God and the cosmos
where inner and outer worlds effortlessly interpenetrate
where continuity and inclusivity overcome brokenness and hostility…
A place to rest a while, to let the wholeness come, to be and to become…

 

Stepping beyond
In wildness is the enriching of the soul…
in experiencing the un-knowable beauty is to be earthed…
to be ‘humoused’… to be humbled…
to be embraced in our smallness by enormity,
the beyondness of rock and soil, of plant and tree, of landscape, sea and
sky…
to submit to the solitude and yet embrace the fellowship of nature’s
encompassing…
and in it to sense the ‘other’, the ‘great-one’,
the divine architect and enhancer of all being…
looking outwards, yet journeying inwards to the mystery,
that ever-expanding landscape of the soul…
such moments are pure gift… pure grace…
to risk stepping beyond what the mind can comprehend,
to step beyond the power of words to express…
to wonder how the earth feels…
to wonder what these few remaining twisted trees think of life…
to wonder what story the wind brings from across the hills and the deep,
distant ocean….
