"Lower Country"
“In unfamiliar places we gravitate toward familiar things. Faces, homes, feelings. I would drive thousands of miles roaring down backroads of rural Georgia searching for a sense of belonging. There is a tangible sadness that drapes over low country. I’ve felt it before. I knew it intimately because it was there in my childhood- that sense of hopelessness, the brokenness of families, of homes, of spirits. I’ve seen it in the decay of my own family too. My neighbors, childhood friends. Here in the most isolated parts of the South, I found a reconciliation of my youth and all the things I had just left behind. The trauma, the despair, the shame, the guilt. It is a new understanding of resilience against all odds. I am indebted to the experiences and the kind souls I met along the way that welcomed me as one of their own and inspired an awakening in myself. This is "Lower Country."
