Remote but still connected


What is it that drives some folks to choose 
So remote a place to live? 
I’m reminded of C.S.Lewis’s book, 
The Great Divorce, in which people keep moving 
Farther and farther apart… 
And yet, have I not done the same, 
Perched on a cliff as we are, between 
Two horse farms and the sea? 
Somehow, no matter where we’ve lived 
We’ve found community, and cherished that. 
I pray these folks have been able to do the same, 
Their lives enriched by friendships 
Despite the distance.
