Inspiration/Remoteness

Sometimes we need to isolate ourselves from the distractions of daily life. For me, the remoteness of island living has served as both a source of renewal and inspiration.

The lull of waves approaching and then receding
from the beach below our cottage;

the subtle variations in the sky throughout the day
as the winds move over the water;

the simplicity of a home without electricity or internet. . .
. . . all encourage me
to listen and see that I might then write.
