A farm editor loses his hearing and finds a new world. Herbert Collingwood's remarkable memoir turns deafness into a journey: the silence of the fields, the sharpening of other senses, and the deepening of thought when the noise falls away. You will discover reflections on nature, patience, and inner quiet that speak to anyone who has ever craved stillness. An unusual, moving classic about listening with more than the ears. Play the sample and enter the quiet.
