Living beyond the sidewalks, being self-sustained and truly independent. http://countrylivin1./ en-us Webligo BlogHoster <p>Many days I have sat on our back porch just listening...comtemplating the huge silence that's now such a big part of my life. Is this what it's lie to be deaf? Can you imagine a soundless world? Or having all sound taken out of your surroundings...the world just sucked dry of decibels? Is outer space this quiet?</p> <p>I am forced to slow down because of silence. See that 100 year old oak tree? Can you imagine all the silence it has endured; through storms of untold magnitude, freezing nights and long, hot days, as well as all those pleasant days&nbsp;when no one&nbsp;was around.&nbsp;I'd give anything to sit at the foot of that tree and absorb its knowlege...if only I spoke tree. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Sponsored by EnterTo.com the first REAL <a href="http://mail.enterto.com/signup.html">spam free email</a><br /> <br />Click Below to discover and share content from anywhere on the web<br /> <script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script> http://countrylivin1.3steps.com/18673/
