Yo, Jennifer!
 
This Wendell Berry poem made me think of you, all the sides of you. I know, it's a little gloomy. But pretty and true. I couldn't resist posting it for you here.


When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

The most romantic holiday is practically around the bend and I'm certain you are chasing for something extraordinary to Gift your cherished one. Most ladies hope to be gifted some kind of jewelry from their loved and family on this occasion. Jewelry gifted to a lady resembles giving them a token that uncovers the amount you truly cherish them.

About Me

My Photo
Name: Blue Heron Vacations
Location: Ocracoke, NC, United States

I grew up on Ocracoke (Class of 1990!) and graduated from Davidson College. Jennifer, who many of you know as the owner of Blue Heron Realty, has been a great and true friend for as long as I can remember. I work as a waitress at the Cafe Atlantic, serve on the board of our community radio station (check out WOVV.org) and write an occasional column for the Island Breeze. Every time I travel I fall in love with a new place, but nothing yet trumps living near my (at times eccentric) family, swimming in the Atlantic on our world class beach, and being part of the strong, warm and inspiring community which is Ocracoke.
