Day 127 - a Year by the Sea

It is very easy to see something written onto this dead branch. The alphabet is strange and unfamiliar but surely there is some meaning in this cryptic message. Clearly there are letters incised into the wood but what do they mean? I don’t know. It does feel like that there is a message here but from who and what about? Someone will quickly point out the weathering and the insect burrows and perhaps the work of a woodpecker. That’s all there really is but - - -. It surely got a grip on my fevered mind. Touch it in the warm sun and it feels like wood. Look at it and it seems to be so much more. It wouldn’t take much to return to my druidicĀ  roots. Look harder and listen closer.

Ciao!
