Surfacing by Kathleen Jamie

“The sea was calm. No one else was on the beach, only some birds and two seals watching me from a few yards out in the water. I stood at the water’s edge and sang the seals a song about time and change, and the seals, out of courtesy, listened.”
A little torn between three or four stars for this book - i struggled to see what connected some of these essays except for the fact they are printed in the same book, and some of the chapters were a little too long for my liking. But the beautiful language and the last three essays - The wild horse, Elders and Voice of the wood - changed my mind towards four stars.
