Body and Soul

BRANCHES WITH GREEN LEAVES My seven year old grandson believes it's important work to help repair trails I've built through rock-strewn mountain property even asking if we can build new ones to new places...andhe believes me when I tell him to hang onto branches with green leaves when he edges down a steep bank to the stream and his eyes grow big when I tell him about the bones I found in the hollow where deer come down to drink and when the trail back to the house gets steep he puts his hand in mine and I know I'm safe for a little while. for Sam
