Some Pleasure, Some Sorrow

The loss of Molly has been hard to deal with, and most likely it’s only pet owners or former pet owners who will be able to fully grasp our sadness. 15 years of living with the same dog is a long time and the attachment will stay on whether the dog is there or not.                              Above: Sunsweep Sculpture To help getting our minds into a more positive direction we decided today that we would do a hike to Sunsweep Sculpture, which always has been my favorite hike on the island. Clear skies and a dark blue sea mixed with the colours of fall, the quietness of the forest accompanied by the surf of the waves and rolling pebbles made this day perfect for enjoying nature. Even though this trail is usually not crowded, today we were the absolut only ones enjoying the area. The bright sun and the reflection on the water made the area warmer than expected. Before soon I threw of my jacket and I would have walked without my sweater if I wouldn’t have to carry it. Hard to believe that this was October 18 on the east coast. A little group of cormorans were sitting on rocks looking out for food. The beaches were strewn with driftwood, shore birds here and there and a seal sticking his round head out of the water right off shore. An incredible paradise of peace indeed.
