The beech tree’s green canopy spreads across the grey and blue of morning sky, exchanging glances with the younger ones. The carpet is still red and gold with memories of autumn. So many smells of old and new. We breathe in the past and exhale the present, before inhaling the present and exhaling the past again.

a journey of its own

It’s been a breezy and sunny start to the day at 4C and took a little while to warm up.
We are taking a short blogging break to focus on editing our next book and will be back next week. We will post a Silent Sunday post on our sister blog Tranature as per normal and will check in to read and catch up on comments when we can.
We wish you all a very happy Wednesday and a wonderful weekend!

Eivor and Pearl wanted to create this post for our blogging friend Bella and her family and the many others who lost their loved ones after they’d been given transfusions or products containing infected blood.
May the love and light of this world continue to wrap itself around all of you who need it at this time.
With love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx

The weather is turning warm again and the sandbar feels soft underneath. We walk here in quiet contemplation, leaving only foot prints before a line of surf waves them away.

Glen Affric
There are so many ways to climb the hill. Stone steps are here for those who stride big, who like something solid underfoot. I prefer to take smaller steps, feel the soil between my toes, the earth’s heartbeat.
may flowers
this forest speaks of growing
your own star

We pause to read messages left here by the deer, hear the swish of dippers’ wings above the flowing waters. It’s in the silence, where we hear our guidance speak.
this world we sail in
the water on the outside

This is our final post in the current Glen Affric series, a beautiful nature reserve in the Scottish Highlands.
