In Ireland, the ocean is everywhere.

Sometimes hiding in the mist…

History hangs heavy in the ocean air, like breath moistened by a story.

In rough weather…

Or calm…

Whether watching intently…

Or only vaguely aware of it…

You can still smell the salt in the air…like a ghost.

You can feel it like a heartbeat…

And hear it like a lullabye…

Cliffs of Moher? I adored my time in Ireland…it’s as dramatic as its storytellers. No, likely it spawns the dramatic storytellers. Great eye, fine taste and delightful company. Thank you, Naomi.
