The Gift

“To fully appreciate the character of Allerdale Hall one must begin by standing before the imposing facade and subsequently enter the shadows of the inner foyer. From here, the entrance opens into a splendid hall communicating with the grand staircase which one follows with the eyes up three storeys to a stupendous fresco of a devout nature. It is said that the eyes of these painted saints survey all that occurs -the good and the fearsome- within these walls.” (Crimson Peak, 2015)

Loki The Fox, 2015. There are some memories that bring tears to my eyes. I remember the connection I made with Loki, a beautiful wild arctic fox on the southern coast of Iceland. For some reason, he trusted me as if I was one of his one. I spent nearly two hours in these mossy hills playing with Loki as he batted his front paws up into the sky, hiding around the rocks waiting for me to find him, and putting his cold nose onto my cheek. Even when writing about this experience and sharing this story, it seems way too surreal to actually have happened. Loki is a constant reminder and inspiration to live each beautiful day alive and with love.
