Island

There are places that hold us gently in their stillness, as if shaped to be refuges between sea and mountain. On an island, we feel that strange duality: the comfort of a finite space, protected and almost intimate — and at the same time, the constant awareness that the horizon is always water. We live between the safety of what doesn’t change and the quiet tension of what confines us. Maybe that’s why islands draw us in so deeply: they remind us that freedom can have edges, and that a sense of belonging sometimes grows exactly where the path ends and the ocean begins.
