You really love your estuary James, in much the same way that I love my
moors and fells. And you find there much that I find in my place. The quiet
explanations of nature, the sense of being a part of it all of belonging at
quite fundamental level, the 'heathen awe' you refer to, although I fear
some connotations of 'heathen' might undermine the intrinsically wonderful
nature of the experience. A good read and thanks for that. Regards Arthur.
