Just Imagine.

Each morning when I draw back the curtains and see my little bay, different from each time previously. If I lived till a hundred years or more I'd find it exceedingly difficult to define these subtle changes even with the artists brush. How, indeed would the poet moved by the muse approach it to supply verses of his art. I don't realy know. But the image that gets my brain functoning - gets the millions of cells going in such a remarkable way awakening my intericate sense of perception to an all feeling inistinct.
Britain, a veritable island, surrounded by seas, has left its special mark on the ancient and modern lore of the sea, since the first brave soul soul fashioned a basic coracle to cross a river mouth or cast a line to fish or even be more adventurous over the brine.
As I bring my little bay into focus again, my imigination is kindled towards my dear Scotland with a history of ships and sails; boats of every kind and size. But let us not at this moment languish in sadness about the losses and non -returnings when beauty proves to be cruel.
But as I continue to gaze on my bay where the eider ducks visit and the sea gulls cry; the oyster - catcher stabs his long red beak; I say to myself, my imigination could be anybodys, with no beginning or end.

Shared universalism. Not sure if that makes me feel better or worse about things but thank you.

Words to stir the imagination ... without it we would lead colourless lifes. There is something about the ocean that stirs the most hardened soul, and somewhere I have read that the space between the earth and the sea, that area of tidal movement, is the most restful place to be. Neither land nor sea ... does it perhaps hark us back to an ancient past?

I discovered your blog through 麻豆官网首页入口 home page. I am an American who married a Scotsman and started a blog to help me make sense of this beautiful new world. I especially liked today's post about looking at the bay because I coudl never tire of looking at the water. My blog is on www.highlandhome.blogspot.com if you would like to visit me there.

Davy G, I'd be so glad if it had made you feel better rather than worse. I wonder were you ever visited by the muse. This can make the difference between yes and no. I think.

Plaid from The Outback, Australia : ...colourless lives it would be indeed if we could not "stand and stare". And yes, I agree, that there is something in the ocean to touch the spirit of man. "The space between earth and sea", exceedingly inspiring to visit. I believe that it takes us to the very recesses of our mind ( the brain - still unfathomed ) You can also have a feeling of being at one with the universe.

Sharon Pottinger from Caithness, Glad you enjoy your new world and also seaside scenes. Caithness is bound to have some tremendous sea scapes - just like Tiree. I feel that it is gentle on the mind to view it. will visit your blogspot.
