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.
