Over there, that’s where Heaven is!
… a place that seems absolutely perfect in every way. The lofty heavens up above or, as a place of everlasting bliss

As a child, I felt that the location of heaven was just beyond the distant clouds. With the growing years, I’ve realised it’s actually closer to home. Nothing to do with out there; but on this earth, this land, this sea, this here.

Not a Sound
To arrive at the sea here is to have your breath taken away by the grandeur of the surrounding landscape. You don’t speak, standing in awe.
Milford Sound on the South Island of New Zealand isn’t actually a sound, it’s a geographic misnomer, as technically it’s a fjord.
Thus my title for this piece, Not a Sound.
Heaven, a place where nothing ever happens
Mist and still waters. We often assume there’s a mystery and an ambiguous something else beyond. Oh?
In this case a line from a track by Talking Heads, written by David Byrne.
