Three years ago we bought a place in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. My first place was a nice house but had neighbors and not much land. We go luck last year and found the place of my dreams. It has more land and a nice stream going through it. This past weekend I was sitting on the porch (taking a break from working on the Bronco) looking at the 100 + foot trees with my boys. When the oldest one says to me. “Dad why do you find this relaxing?” “I don’t find it relaxing at all”. I just told him to sit back and enjoy the trees the wind the sound of the stream. Listen to the earth speak. Sad thing is he still did not get it.
You know when I am there for extended periods of time I really don’t miss the Internet well other than this list, and the lattes and the ability to get a slurpee at any time. But when I am away from my real home I do miss the sound of the wind through the trees, the sound of the stream by my house, and the feeling of peace I get from this place.
