What a beautiful, moving reflection — thank you for sharing it. Your words carry such clarity and gentleness, and they quietly remind us of something so easily forgotten: that the natural world can still speak to us, if we’re quiet enough to listen. It’s powerful to read how the stillness of the moor, and the space between notifications, opened a window back to your own rhythms — both tender and wild. I hope that reconnection continues to ripple through the days ahead. And thank you, too, for bringing light to the quieter corners of Cornwall — your description of the land, the bones, the bluebells, is pure magic.
This is stunning. Your line “a wildness that exists within myself too” gave me chills. We just spent five days in Cornwall - and while our trip wasn’t entirely unplugged, it stirred something similar. Every stone path and folk song felt like a reminder of how much more we can hear when we get quiet. Thank you for this.
