halcyon days
The briny shorelines of the Tweed river mouth, stitched and laced with the roots and branches of mangroves, support a resource rich environment nourished on the salty sediment of the breathing tide. Such an environment breeds, harbours and draws life of many forms as indeed it drew me one afternoon to explore my way along a rough path through the mangroves.
Puckering down the muddy path I came across this unexpected, tranquil scene seemingly lost in time and place. Looking around I recognised the unmistakable signs of a children’s secret, natural playground. In the swoon of the salty air and golden flush of the sinking sun I felt a rush of grief over the loss of the simple joys of childhood and its spontaneous, playful interconnection with the natural world.
