36 DREAMSCAPES WINTER/SPRING 2022
The Fox Trot
The next day we drove to the Marconi Wireless Inter- pretation Centre. From this vantage point, you can see the nearby Town of Fogo Island. Just as I was about to pull out my camera, movement caught my eye. It was a silver fox, trotting up the hill! The wily fox soon curled up in a clearing. We watched in awe at just how at home it looked on this wild land.
We left Fogo Island with a smile and a sense of peace knowing there are places in the world where nature and humans can coexist in harmony.
Finding Serenity and Reconnecting
Crowded places have now become a source of anxiety for most of us—so going somewhere like Newfound- land, with only half a million people living on an island, nearly the same size as Cuba, was the ultimate escape. With every breath of salty sea air, every step on moss-covered rocks, and with each epic sunset I witnessed, I felt my batteries recharge. Being able to discover a new part of my own country with my mom is a gift I will forever cherish.
If there is a silver lining to this pandemic it has been to re-evaluate priorities and find amazing beauty and adventures much closer to home. In chasing the light on a dramatic rocky island, with Mom in tow, I managed to find blissful serenity in the not so faraway island of Newfoundland. DS
