today's longing

Today's longing is that I want to stay on the Isle of Man....but the reality is that tomorrow the house removal packers make a start and soon I will be moving to Malton in North Yorkshire. My heart is both very excited and very sad at the prospect.,,,, I feel like a tree tearing up it's roots after 21 years of growth and I will need to grieve. Today a storm was forecast and the ferries were brought forward by several hours to miss it...but at present it is remarkably quiet, but the wind is in the trees and has changed direction and the fire didn't want to take....there is a tension in the air, 'a lull before the storm'....so we will see what the night might bring.
