One Line: "Then she remembered! She had that morning seen a blue butterfly on a patch of grass..."
Margaret sums up this line in one word:
Beauty
I chose to share this line because noticing beauty in the everyday is a key part of the Weather Report daily practice.
5 Truths About Margaret:
I live in southeast Ireland.
The view from my kitchen window is towards a mountain whose name translates as 'the mountain of the women'.
I love when the first shoots of vegetables appear through the ground in our garden in late spring.
I love to sea swim at a place called The Guillamenes (we live 30 mins from the coast) and to lift weights.
I have the phrase / question, 'Are you afraid of this happiness?', pinned to the wall beside my desk.
