Jan, I wonder, as does Susie Mawhinney in her comment about what if we had landed elsewhere, but I also wonder about what is it that seems to be calling me elsewhere!? Sometimes I feel like this is not where I belong...such a strange feeling. And feeling that life is too short...do we all feel that way as we take on the years of living ?

Thanks as always Jan for the wondering path.

"Tracing the threads of an overpowering calling that brought me to the forest" A hill in my case, "to a relationship with a patch of earth that I am not indigenous to, yet experience as ‘home’."

Jan I wonder often about whether these places we have landed upon found us, rather than the reverse? I wonder if we had landed elsewhere, would we still feel the land as so much part of us as we do now? Is it us that has adapted and made it this way or was it always there..?

"At the heart of this tapestry are liminal moments so fleeting that I might have blinked and missed them;" And this, I feel this almost with a desperate panic,... those single moments you speak so beautifully of, they are never frequent enough are they? xx
