Stir up Sunday 2023
Hold your nerve, and carry on

Rain in Torridon

December 5, 2023
Written by Jo Hansen

Deluge on the hut roof

Drumming the day away

Sating a thirsty land, avid for water.

As the storm ebbs

New sounds emerge wraithlike from the turbulence:

The rising river,

And a thrush.

Out over the estuary

A silver bar of sunlight edges nearer.
