Located at the southernmost tip of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, surrounded by water and filled with warmth, the tiny island of Ocracoke, NC is a special place. It is bounded on one side by the Pamlico Sound with its beautiful and vitally important marshes and on the other, the Atlantic Ocean, 13 miles of pristine beaches and all the magic of the ever-changing sea. It is a place to heal, to relax and to find one’s center. Paradoxically, it is also where I go to get re-energized, where I feel most alive and where I find inspiration or my work.
To quote Rachel Carson, “To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh, to watch the flight of the shore birds that have swept up and down the surf lines of the continents for thousands of years, to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be.”
