Silence
๐ The Presence of Everything
Silence is the presence of time undisturbed. It is not the absence of something but the presence of everything - welcome to Fair Isle, Britain's most remote inhabited island.
๐ Natural Soundtrack
With the gale winds, and waves constantly crashing along the jagged coastline, it creates its own kind of white noise, and soundtrack to my "How To Disappear" novel I always wanted to write.

There is a fundamental frequency for these parts, and tuning in is not dropping out but turning on to it.

FADE IN: BAM...the incredible lightness of being is present. Skyelark is bouncing on the silage, the wind is blowing strong and the day is measured in length and width as this pasturing of the soul continues.

Cosmos
⭐ Stars, Not Cars and Bars
We are not savaged by cars and bars, just stars, and no light pollution makes communion with the cosmos so pedestrian.

90 Days
๐ The Privilege of Being Here
We have to remind ourselves of the privilege we experience simply by being here and not over there somewhere else. Our 90 days here have evolved to satisfy our most basic yearnings.
๐️ This Place Sticks to You
This place sticks to you - It can be felt in the chest. It nurtures our nature. Listening to your inner voice amid the noise of modern life can be difficult - This place makes it easy.
All that's missing is trees, those cosmic miracles called forests.
Ego
๐ณ️ From Somebody to Nobody
You have to be a somebody before you can be a nobody, and we are definitely egoless in this place and I for an Island. Check Please.
