Sometimes, I feel like I stumble onto things. Sometimes, I feel like I am led.

I was driving back to New England from North Carolina when I turned off the main road and found this small fishing village, at the edge of the most beautiful, pristine salt marsh on the east coast. It is a United Nations-recognized Biosphere Reserve, one of the last large wetlands habitats in the world, according to one of the websites.

About 200 people live there, in this sun-soaked, wind-blown, golden place. It is all sky and light, as pure and clean and lovely as any place I’ve ever been.

I felt I belonged there, maybe more than any place I’ve ever been.

This time, I didn’t stumble. This time, I was led.
