[7/5/2008 6:34:06 PM] Marnie Orr says: “People talk about country in the same way that they would talk about a person: they
speak to country, sing to country, visit country, worry about country, feel sorry for
country, and long for country. People say that country knows, hears, smells, takes
notice, takes care, is sorry or happy. … (C)ountry is a living entity with a yesterday,
today and tomorrow, with a consciousness, and a will toward life."
