I liked your description... I too like to notice the 'everyday'. It reminds me of Mersea Island, and as I am from Kent, of The Isle of Sheppey where I remember wildlife and fossils. When we travel, not for destination, and especially with children and their curiosity, we are slow, we meander. I remember a day when my daughter was a baby and had fallen asleep on my lap, sitting at the edge of a plowed field a whole afternoon until the light faded, I was able to watch the sun track its way accross the sky. I was absoltely still with my thoughts, just noticing.

That’s lovely. You should write your “everyday” down if you’re not already!
Thanks. There is some idea of maintenance for the things we want. Yes we need to build but we also need to maintain the things we want.
