COUNTRY
To be in the country is to escape to the present where a new kind of acuity sets in. Distractions fall away, noises fade, relationships grow and imagination reawakens. It’s a purposeful existence, but it isn’t purpose-driven. It takes restraint to preserve the untamed, but when you connect with and create from the land, or make art from its elements, you experience a place on the deepest level.
