60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey: Mutiny Bay Eagles and Silence.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.

The Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge was the first person to walk to the South Pole – alone. He knows silence. Kagge says, “[silence] … is a quality – something exclusive, luxurious and a key that can unlock new ways of thinking. It can be your best friend.”

I had walked a few miles along Mutiny Bay, the tide was moving out, the wind was rushing down Admiralty Inlet from the North, the branches of pines trees bent and brushed against each other. You would think there was no silence here. But finding an old driftwood log I stretched out on my back and watched a pair of eagles playing tag against the backdrop of a blue, blue sky. I was changed. The future didn’t exist – the past didn’t matter – it was just me, the eagles and silence.
