In my dream,
dolphins were playing with happy abandonment in a friendly sea.
I watched, enthralled.
Clapped my hands in delight and gratitude for their presence,
for their joy at just being.
My applause stopped their play and in mid-air, half in and half out of the water,
as still as statues, they looked at me.
Locked in their searching gaze,
I was aware of myself,
aware that we saw each other,
in that place of knowing that lies just below the surface of everyday.
Seeing the one in all.

I live in Ireland, in an extended cottage overlooking Waterford Estuary, privvy to constant changes of light on water, colour and movement, tides and people. I am anglo-Irish and although my initial intention was to live here for a year and a day, I am still here, a blow-in to these shores for the past fifteen years. There have been countless times when I wanted to run back to England with homesickness and relief, but for one reason or another, so far, it has not been possible. I surrender, the soul of Ireland has captured me, allowed a glimpse of the world behind the mask of everyday experiences, bringing forth a mixture of words and pictures from an ordinary everyday life, filled with ordinary everydayness that I offer as a celebration, to the creator of this truly wonderful planet.
I’m grateful for your water dreaming, Teri. Lovely blessing for us all.
