And it's a regular and important part (probably "goal") of any walk when there is dry ground to flop back on. Something about being so close to the earth, or the difference in perspective with the wide sky overhead, even if through the big oak trees in your back yard...

Life seems different like that, more simple, more beautiful, just, well...more. I often wonder what my neighbors would think if they saw me! I only know it is nice to get a different perspective and watch the birds and the ease in which squirrels go from tree to tree.

I believe you would be in awe with the winter here. I know you are too busy this winter, but some time, you'll have to experience it. You would appreciate it.

We get so used to noise that when there is none sometime is wrong. Radios i cars, TVs in waiting rooms, elevator music etc. We (and I mean I) don't appreciate silence enough. Sometimes I like to drive and only listen to the sound of the tires on the road. I find it to be silent up there often but I can only imagine the silence you speak of in the winter - when all is sleeping and dormant! I would like that! It makes the summer season seem loud! :) We look forward to seeing you all soon! It seems like people often talk because they cannot stand silence – it is awkward.
