Sometimes the sun shining through the trees is the most confirming vision in the world. What it confirms exactly, I don't really know.
We swam in a lake much like this one. The water was cool, but not frigid. As I sank deeper I could feel the colder currents enveloping me. We didn't accurately know how deep the lake was, if we could even touch the bottom.
We had tracked the spirit of the mountain out to the rocky cove. He sat impishly, a small smile on his ancient bearded face. The others eyed us warily.
Silently I asked him all the whys, all the hows, all the great whats. He simply lay down doglike, and scratched himself absentmindedly with his horn. He never lost that impish smile.
