“Looking back, I can see that I was so drawn to tidal pools because they became a metaphor of sorts. They’re a safe place to swim in turbulent waters and I needed to dip my toes into a grief that felt overwhelming, all-consuming, and unbounded. The Trinkie in Scotland, for example, is located where waves of the North Sea beat ferociously against the cliffs and much of the coastline there is inaccessible. A perfect lazuline pool of water offers a safe swim.”
