Kevin Costner has a lot to answer for.
One film. One soundtrack. One cast.
A triple hit that still shapes the way I walk the world.

Since watching the film, more then once, I’ve wandered along Hadrian’s Wall three times. I’ve stood in The Gap. I’ve followed the edges of a story that wasn’t mine… until life handed me my own plot twist.

In 2023, on a warm summer evening, The Tree — that iconic silhouette — had its life changed forever.
A single act. A sudden shift.
A reminder of the question many of us face:

What do you do when your life changes without asking your permission?

For me, the answer began the day I learned I was going blind.

My children built Blind Man Roy.
Over the past year it’s grown into something bigger.

Moor, Mountain, Grow is a non‑for-profit spark for creatives, and for people with protected characteristics, for anyone trying to turn their own acorn of an idea into a business or a book.

But this post isn’t about mine or your beginnings.
It’s about what happens after the fall.
After the shock.
After the silence.
After the thing you thought was permanent… isn’t.

The blog takes less than four minutes to read.
The legacy that will outlive 2223, the next adversary of a 200 year old tree.

If you’re standing at your own “felled tree” moment, you might just find something in it for you.
