Thanks to the explorers

I would like to say a warm thank you to those who joined me on the Symbols in the Sand walk. A wet day had turned into a dry, bright evening and as we walked and talked, the light, shadows , and atmosphere of the coast continually changed. We captured our experiences using a variety of poetic forms, and explored writing as a way of connecting with the senses and with place using the advice of Jean Cocteau who said, “The poet does not invent. He listens.” We also looked at how making a poem can fuse our internal and external worlds.Thank you also to Fiona and Andrew who shared their deep knowledge about the dunes and their passion for protecting it.
