the view of the sea

from the kitchen of

our 260 year old farmhouse

in a remotely quiet

and beautiful area

way out

on old head 

through fields

to where the lusitania and its crew lie at rest

and

down winding roads

 to where the sailors catch the wind

in the city of kinsale.

—

“we are tied to the ocean.

and when we go back to the sea,

whether it is to sail or to watch –

we are going back from whence we came.”
