The moon. We mark time by the phases of the moon. From New Moon to Full Moon every month, the moon rules the tides. Estuaries, those salt-infused, teeming-with-life nurseries, are tied to the tides. Beautiful and mysterious, the moon is ever-changing, yet ever constant.
For Laudholm Trust, moonthly donors are the stars of giving. We rejoice every time someone signs up because we can count on their support to tide us over every month. Without reminders, without fail. Like the tides.
