Reset
Salt water laps this flat sand shore, and across its great expanse there is sky, not rolling blue ridges of mountain. Coastal plain people come to the mountains to reset; mountain people (or, at least in our case, base-of-the-mountain people) come to the Atlantic coast, where different pines and oaks live, where the wind sweeps not down through steep gorges but across flat surface of land and sea. By the next mailing of the Blue Wall Weekly, Brooks, Mica, and I will be back at Jocassee, where we, born here or not, belong. ~K
