First Encounter – Jacquelyn Mills, July 2018

 

First Encounter

Sable Island,
a universe contained
enables a heart to open Boundless :
holding the complexity of being so awake
to the magnificent wonders of existence,
and to the plastics that wash ashore.

To be invited here,
is to be granted the rare gift
of pure, immediate and transformative engagement
with the natural world.

Wondering at the mirrors of birth and death
so uniquely visible.
