The Calling
The calling is a curious thing. This island chooses her people. All year round she flirts with the unsuspecting. In winter she creates pure white dresses for the high hills, sheets of sparkling ice for the lochs and a sky that lights up every night with the aurora borealis. The spring offers bluebells and birds and lambs, wild orchids and promise. And as the nights fade into the days, summer provides the coconut smell of yellow gorse, eagles and an invasion of greenery that the long, warm hours inspire. Autumn brings rainbows, raspberries and hazelnuts, purple heather and leaves of fire. If you answer her call, she will keep you for a year or a lifetime. This is the way of things.
