Look beneath the surface; let not the several quality of a thing nor its worth escape thee. – Marcus Aurelius
Carolina Lowcountry Waterways
Cool sunshine lights up the Carolina Lowcountry today, hinting of Autumn. The wind is carrying a message of freshness, of change. Soon the tall grasses of the marshes lining the winding tidal creeks will dance with golden mellow colors unlike the vivid greens of summer. Autumn is subtle here, all the more meaningful when it calls us to pay attention, to appreciate, to fearlessly embrace a cycle of change in our own lives. The natural world suggests to us in her own seasonal circular way, that change is inevitable, even guaranteed. The cycle of new growth, decay and death is something we know, but I wonder why we humans seem to resist change so fiercely. Often the unfamiliar feels frightening and new. Perhaps we will be unprepared! Perhaps we will be surprised and found out to be lacking. Opening my door on this day, greeted by the freshness of this air, I was simply reminded to trust the elements, to have faith in this circle. I will embrace the changes that I hear blowing in my own life. I will welcome these crystal autumn winds, blown in from the marshes of these seasoned ancient creeks. I am here, at home, in my beloved country, in the Carolina of the South.
I was called to be an artist. And as an old old midwife said to me "If the Lord wants you to do something, you won't have no good luck' til you do." So, here I am, sharing what I love, longing to illuminate the work of art, which is everywhere.

How beautiful…words flow from you like a song from a angel…and so true, that circle. Your faith in that process is inspirational, and belies your heart full of love.
Allons, enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé!
Fall on Edisto – my favorite time of year. Cool and peaceful and wonderful.
Also – I love the pictures you post of Edisto. The last one from the Dawhoo bridge brings back so many memories…I actually got a little choked up as I reflected on all the times we drove over that bridge when we were growing up! What a privilege to have spent so much time on this beautiful island – sometimes we don’t realize our blessings until years later!
