"I know someone who was conceived on this island." She told me this at breakfast - that she had said this to her parents last week while they were together. Together on a vacation to the beach, a beach which was, as mentioned, on an island.

I'd never thought of it in so many words, but so I was conceived on an island, born at sunrise, and mostly brought up in a valley, sometimes in the mountains and often in the hollers, and the creek beds, and, according to right, overseeing the foggy treetops whenever was needed.
