Average person's perception....

[Robin Blankenship]

For me, it is the stillness that allows the beauty to wash the soul.
Southside Virginia is several thousand square miles of quiet and
contemplative beauty. Gently rolling land, dark forests, ancient farm
fields, empty roads. Good for the soul.

David, thank you for sharing this very personal moment and insight.

Robin
