Country life

I came across something that I totally love and relate to. I thought I should post it for anyone who might feel the same way.

"I spoke of country life as a kind of reality that I can understand and respond to. There is no pretense in a wood pile or a brook. I know what they are, what they were yesterday and what they will be tomorrow and living with them I have come to know myself rather well. I do not have to pretend i am anything other than myself. That I believe leads to integrity; certainly it tends in that direction." Hal Borland- Living in the country
