A peaceful moment for you today

Isle of Vaila.

The Isle is 10 minute boat ride from the Shetland mainland. There is grassland, moorland and freshwater lichens; puffins, great skuas and oyster catchers nest around the island, while otters and orcas play in the sea that surrounds it.


BY THE SEA BY EMILY DICKINSON

I started early, took my dog,
And visited the sea;
The mermaids in the basement
Came out to look at me.

1. Lovely island, lovely poem!

2. Reminds me of this:

“Between the windows of the sea
Where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much
About Desolation Row”
