“He who knows what sweets and virtues are in the ground, the waters, the plants, the heavens, and how to come at these enchantments, is the rich and royal man.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

A view of the Tuckasegee River back home in western North Carolina. The mountains will always be part of me…born, raised, and lived most of my life there (until two years ago when I moved to Raleigh, but that’s another story).

This blog is a collection of memories, photos, essays, observations, coziness, and nature/pantheistic inspirations in my everyday life, from the Plott Balsams of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the City of Oaks. I may not have much money, but I’m rich, indeed. Enjoy!
