This is Fanad Head Lighthouse, located on the rugged northern coast of County Donegal, Ireland. Perched dramatically on a rocky peninsula overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the lighthouse has guided ships through these treacherous waters since 1817.

A dandelion pushes through concrete.
A milky-eyed, three-legged cat snatches at a leaf.
A tree returns to its upright, when, finally, the storm, calms.
There’s a life-force in all that live. An imperative - to continue.

A short story about the parrot that came off an 1811 shipwreck at Fanad Head, wearing the dead ship's name on a silver collar. Finished it last month; still sitting with it. Slow, quiet work. What are you in the middle of?

A parrot came off the wreck wearing the ship's name on a silver collar. It said the name the way a bell says a town. A parrot doesn't hold a loss, it holds a sound.
