Eternal

All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward. ~Ellen GlasgowHere near the site of the first Wright brother’s flight, we spend a morning on the beach at Kill Devil Hills. The hike over the dunes puts all signs of man at our backs, and for a while we waddle in the waves. The dogs...

Fast Food

A gentleman on the ferry recommends El’s in Morehead City, NC for dinner, and that’s where we pull in around 8pm after a drive through the marshes from Cedar Island, through Smyrna and Beaufort, night slowly obscuring the landscape until our world narrows to the beam of our headlights, the story...

Secret Agents

"They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself." Andy Warhol There’s nothing particularly elegant about tunnels typically, as hard to admire as an esophagus, self-effacement verging on complete invisibility.Tunnels are secret, and mysterious and grounded,...

Change of Clothes
