Back in the Country
Well, I’m back. I’ve been away for five years, and now I find myself back in the country and living the life. It’s hard to explain; actually I don’t believe it can be explained. You just have to know it, and if you don’t know it, then you can’t learn it.
It’s just a feeling. Sometimes it comes to me when I’m walking up the drive after getting home from work. Sometimes it comes when I’m lying in bed at night, right after I’ve turned the lights off and I can feel the quietness of a country night closing in around me. Sometimes it comes when I’m strolling along a silent backwoods road with the fireflies lighting my path and the breeze rolling off the hills filled with alfalfa fragrances.
Those are the things that brings it…I can’t describe the feeling itself though, and I wish I could. But lately, even today, I’ve discovered that just because you tell someone something and explain it to them, it doesn’t mean they’re going to understand it or you.
