Asheville Real Estate Journal
As I pondered the items on one of my Listservs the other day, I came across a simple but elegant "ad" from a land-buyer here in Asheville. Originally written in prose, the words, the tempo, and the sentiment were so lyrical that they called to my heart. I translated these to verse and asked permission to share it then with you...and here it is...one of the most beautifully -written ads I have ever read...

... looking to live our lives simply ...
~ KJ Laurro
... looking to live our lives simply ...
on two-plus acres of land
with a small simple home
a creek or stream
a few outbuildings. Flat land to garden
and have some animals.
Some trees also.
If someone has something like this,
and it means something to them
to know
that we would tend the land with a gentle hand and care for it with our hearts
fully invested in creating a way
to walk lightly and organically
and lovingly-
then please contact us....
We are eager to live within easy-reaching distance of Asheville . . . .

Hi janeAnne~
That is a creative way to request information on land! I can tell, these folks want to live life close to nature, in aan Eco-friendly environment.
It would appear that their request for assistance fell into the right hands!
Best regards,
janeAnne, this is what I mean about your elegant posts. I so enjoy your presentation of a green and healthy lifestyle. Thanks for being an inspiration.
I love it - this is priceless! Hope you are doing well.
Judi~
I imagined youhave noticed that so often what lies between the lines is powerful...I am lucky to be able to work with people who re stewards of the land...and who think of generations past and those to come...
Debb~
It comes from absolutely loving the Land...and the opportunity to be involved in eco-friendly communities...how lucky am I to get to work with the poets of the Earth?
Hi Joan~
I miss you...I hope you are well...one day..shall we meet on the Land in Asheville?
How beautifully put. You seem to have an eye for this. I can envision the peaceful life and joy the buyers dream about. I'm betting these buyers get their wish.
Colleen~
I thought it was beautiful as well...a tribute to the sense of stewardship that abounds in Asheville area neighbors...
janeAnne, those words come straight from the heart - simply beautiful and pure. I loved the photo too with the beautiful blue sky, the puffy clouds parting above life on the farm.
