Wild untouched landscapesTHE QUIET ADVENTURE
COLLECTION
Peace in the cradle of the mountains. Fields loved by the winds. This collection was the first that I’ve offered since 2018, and I’m incredibly proud and inspired by the vision of this work.

The poetry rooted in this collection “THe Quiet Adventure” by Emily JeffordsI walked through a field.
It was new to me, but I knew it already.
The earth smelled like childhood.
The grasses clung to my bare feet in familiar ways.
The only thing unknown was the landscape.
She was vast and led to places I have not been.
Adventure, we call it.
Unknowing.
But in the unknowing is a deep self-knowing.
Trust in my body. Trust in my mind.
Trust in the bravery I have shown.
Knowing that I will be brave again.
Even when the landscape unnerves me
With the edges she is asking me to explore.
Even when Adventure wraps itself in unfamiliar foliage.
I step outside of my mind
And the endlessness of my concerns
To focus on each footfall.
Moss. Small blooms to be avoided
(they are too pretty to squish).
A deep hole just the right size for a snake.
A rock to climb. Then another.
A cliff. We’re a little too high now.
A rusty-red puddle.
The sound of wind in the thousand-mile-field.
Mindfulness, they call this;
The act of focusing on the present moment.
I call it a Quiet Adventure.
And it is all so quiet and so beautiful I cannot breathe.
I cannot breathe so I take big, cavity-filling breaths.
Imprinting the scent and textures on my soul.
Consuming it in thirsty eyefuls.
Scooping it up and tucking it in
And asking it to stay with me.
I walked through a field that was wholly unfamiliar to me.
But I knew myself in it.
I knew that I would be brave.
I knew I would let it change me.∎
