    Slow down and take time to listen to Clare Shaw's voice, guiding you to open all the senses to this landscape and embrace your poetic capabilities. This community loves its Moss, wants to protect it, for itself, future generations, and the planet. Clare's gentle, total affinity with this landscape and people, shines through and helps us find words to express this a.nd deepens our appreciation of the landscape and of words. Thank-you to all involved in this project.
