Honest Goodness. Vermont.
July 12th, 2010 § 1 Comment
Vermont. This fair state continues to inspire me every time I return to visit my family. I find my center here.
I gain a deeper understanding of myself and find more and more reasons to move back here sometime in the not-too-distant future.
I can feel my roots deep within the farm stands, the robin’s nest outside my house, the rolling hills and idyllic ponds.
I am inspired by the work of so many local artists, friends and family, and in the natural beauty of the landscape. Why does San Francisco have to be so far away from this special home of mine?
The honest goodness of this place is incredible. A friend’s pristine, newly renovated farm stand sits unattended with instructions on how to pay and record your purchases. This is so Vermont.
It inspires me to know that places like this exist and function with apparent ease. Handmade and homegrown with love, in Vermont.
An incredible visit home rejuvenates me and centers my world. Sitting on a dock at a friend’s pond, I am reminded how peaceful the countryside is and how resonating and grounding are the sounds of nature.
Thank you to my parents for raising me in this honest, beautiful place, and for giving me a home to return to.
p.s. I found this egg in our back yard and just had to photograph it. I couldn’t help myself but include it in this post somehow.
SIGH. Too well put.
