I'm not sure where this writing is going...but for now it is what it is...

...for it's kind of about where we live, the beautiful Sid Valley and the hills beyond. It's about the sea and the timeless wild-ness of the shoreline... and its about the power of the sea. It drew us here and it holds us here...

...and of course it's about donkeys. Today, donkeys live in their thousands here, high on the hill in the Sanctuary. Their singing brays are echos of donkeys that lived here long ago hauling salt, carrying harvests gathered and following donkey paths back to the sea...

Of Sea and Asinus

We live in a green valley, that's  threaded together by footpaths and bridleways, with a silvery river that shimmys its way down to the sea. In our valley the songs of seagulls float on the wind, and high on the hills that hug us - live two thousand donkeys!

Our life here is shaped by the alchemy of Sea and Asinus...

    Beautiful Angela! Your writing is so good at romancing the ordinary. Please help us come to our senses through all things wild, sublime and Donkey.
