Description
A new day dawns on Edisto Island, South Carolina. Waves crash over the skeletons of ancient live oak trees. Standing fast in the surf, the remnants of these trees serve as a reminder of what was once a proud forest. Change is constant, a never ending process and cycle. We grow, we learn, we live. Sometimes all our souls need is a fresh awakening. A sunrise for our souls, to breathe deep the beautiful world around us. A reminder of this precious gift. A reminder to be mindful and grateful daily for all we have. The sun will rise and set, the tides will ebb and flow. Our time here is brief, make the most of every day. Live Well.
