Wild Kelp
An Gèadh Fiadhaich counsels me,
“Seek the counsel of wild kelp":
Kelp the sea's canopy of life
takes counsel from the ocean,
the ocean takes counsel from the wind,
the wind takes counsel from the Eye of the Day,
and the Eye of the Day takes counsel of Righ nan Dùl.”
To reject the counsel of Wild Kelp
would seem like treason.
