We all know someone who embodies the phrase ‘free spirit’.

They are the dreamers, searchers and innovators in life, destined to shine their light briefly into our world and move on.

Experimental, passionate, they pick us up and carry us part of the way with them, before gently setting us down further along our road.

Then they are gone. We see them in the distance, turning to smile and wave back at us, even occasionally racing back to share another moment before disappearing into the woods.

Many of them burn so brightly that they are snuffed out whilst still young. But they leave behind a glow that will light our way for many years to come.
