Looking at the small details in nature makes the winter gloom bearable. Get outside for sanity, give the gift of nature and a sneak preview into next year's courses.
Without warning, the black branched beeches step out of the flat, featureless, impenetrable white wall of fog. Their sudden, abrupt appearance almost menacing. Somewhere, far away, the sun must be rising.
I just ordered a copy of your book, really looking forward to reading it! I love the sunrise haiku you do, what an incredible way to begin each day. Definitely going to try that. I’ve been writing little haiku for some of the organisms I gather here and there in my journal. I was inspired to do this after reading the book Kinoko recently (about fungi in Japanese culture). I feel like doing this is such a wonderful way to celebrate them and the ways they enrich our life. If I ever make it to Scotland one of your walks will absolutely be on my list of things to do.
Thank you. Here is today’s sunrise:
