The horizon leans forward

In my last post we were talking about what to do at the road end - recognising that the end of something is always the start of something new.

Looking back I can see that post was maybe a little starker than I intended (under-estimating the power of both visuals and headline) so I wanted to follow up the message with some compelling words and a positive - beautiful, stunning, amazing - image.

The words are from Maya Angelou.  They follow on from the idea that when you reach what looks like the end of something, the most amazing things start to open up in front of you.

"...The horizon leans forward, offering you space to place new steps of change.”

The picture is from my recent holiday with the islands of Rum and Eigg in far view, sparkling in the evening light. 

Seascapes form the horizons of my imagination - the horizons that lean forward, beckon and call.  I wonder how they look from where you are?

Oh this takes me back. I once stayed at Mary Kirk's house (Laig Farm). On the way back on the Shearwater to Arisaig a family of dolphins tagged along for the ride. My two little ones layed across the bows to let the Dolphins jump and touch their outstretched hands. Magic moments.

Joanna, If you ever get chance to stop over at Euan McEuan's place (Port Mor House) on Muck you must do so. The finest home cooking I've ever tasted.

Oh happy times. :-)

Wow, that sounds magical indeed.

Thanks for the heads up on Port Mor house. Now you've got me itching to head north and west again...:-)
