This day, one of the first abandoned by many through fear, I got to breathe in the blue alone. The stillness was as if I was suspended in time – the mesmerising sky, barely lapping water, the sharp crisp spring air, salted for taste.
Because I know if I give fear a home and deny myself the healing power of nature, I will become a self-fulling statistic. I know if I live each day looking and breathing through a filltered fear, I will have socially distanced myself from what it is to be human. I am cautious, I play safe, but I am not fearful.
I take my sunrise walk with the sea as my companion and count my blessings. Because that’s what this is. A utopian antidote to the dystopian virtual voices. A vast wild untameable uncontrollable free natural world.
