Where have you found your Orkney? Where do you find you're centered? Where would you say your true self is? Where can you best be remembered? Is it in a familiar voice? Is it in a sound? Is it in a childhood smell or is it more place-bound? Is it when you're free to dance or when you get up to sing? When you pick up a favourite pen and your mind has taken wing? Is it as you walk or stroll or in the pace of a run? Is it when you find your chill or when you're having fun? Is it when you're home alone or when you're there with others? Is it found when standing solo or within greater numbers? Where is your Orkney? Where are you centred? Wherever it is you're true self is - go there and remember.

Where is your Orkney?
Where have you found your Orkney? Where do you find you're centered? Where would you say your true self is? Where can you best be remembered? Is it in a familiar voice? Is it in a sound? Is it in a childhood smell or is it more place-bound? Is it when you're free to dance or when you get up to sing? When you pick up a favourite pen and your mind has taken wing? Is it as you walk or stroll or in the pace of a run? Is it when you find your chill or when you're having fun? Is it when you're home alone or when you're there with others? Is it found when standing solo or within greater numbers? Where is your Orkney? Where are you centred? Wherever it is you're true self is - go there and remember.
The title is from a radio conversation about mental health and the place art has in preserving it.
