“A regular diet of awe…” Such a profound reminder. Thank you for sharing Gay’s poem and your uplifting reflections. This entire essay made me smile and breathe deeply.
Thank you—that means a lot. Truly, it is a stunning place. I should have written “fallen old growth tulip poplar” instead of “fallen log” in the caption because those trees are so magnificent. I very much hope it survived the hurricane. When I read Richard Powers’ Bewilderment I was visualizing that area. I think he lives in the region somewhere.
