Back

I've been back from the mountains since Sunday night but as is usually the case, I need a vacation from my vacation. I had one of the better trips to West Virginia and as is also usually the case, I hated to leave. One of the hardest things to adjust to when returning from the middle of nowhere is the constant noise of the city. When I would step out onto the deck of our condo, the only sounds I could hear were the thoughts inside my mind. For those who haven't experienced it, the sound of silence is the greatest thing in the world. The silence, lack of people and complete sense of wilderness is intoxicating and I'm already counting the days till I head back east.

The most incredible silence I have ever experienced was in the mountains of Colorado outside Denver back in the 80s. There was nothing. No power lines, no cell phones, no cars; it was just total nature and silent. And yet, in some strange way, the noises in my head were the loudest I've ever heard.
