State Parks (we have almost 50! State Parks, Natural Areas in NC) that we have access to that our tax money helped pay for. These areas literally took blood, sweat and tears (and money) to preserve for us and future generations. We encourage you to support these state treasures (and also your local city parks, preserves, natural areas). Visit them, donate to them, learn about them, share them. Many of these parks are no fee parks, consider donating $1, $3, $5 when you utilize them. Even better, consider signing up as a volunteer to help with trail maintenance, building, upkeep, special events and more. Not only do you get in free to fee based parks (National Park fees went up to $30 per car for some parks in NC this year), you will get fresh air and meet new outdoor friends. Enjoy exploring these NC-based authors and fall in love with the state, city, and the Piedmont that we work and play in this winter as you take the time to slow down, quiet the noise….. explore in different ways…through the pages of our treasured local writer’s.
Chasing the Days
Chasing the sunrise Chasing the river’s flow
Chasing the sundown’s warming glow
Do you chase that exhilarating go go go? Rising well before dawn Where this time has she gone?
To meet the sun in the east and the moon in the west Taking in all of earth moon and skies best
So when winter arrives her soul can rest, rest sweet rest. We have a choice in our lives to make our way
We don’t have to settle for just another ordinary day It is up to us to keep our souls alive
So we and our children’s children can thrive, thrive, thrive
So chase the sunrise, chase the days Be a shining, blinding ray of rays.
