Hill country

Author: Shawn /

It is hard for me to explain the feelings that I have for the natural world...in particular, the hill country. When I walk the land there is this quiet that fills me. Time slows for me and in the clarity of the moment, everything takes on a depth and richness that is hard to describe.

The trees and rocks vibrate with a profound stillness, and the setting sun generates this vast radiance that hums through everything. If you listen, you can feel just how ancient all of this is. You can feel what the land was like before there were fences and roads. One vast humming silence broken only by the winds, birds, and the hum of insects. There are sensations and textures of emotion that can only be understood in the silence of a world untouched by man.
