My husband knows me well. Driving out Lolo Pass Saturday, at a particularly beautiful wooded spot he pulled over and looked at me, smiled, and simply said "go." I got out of the car, peered over the edge of the road, and then started making my way down the embankment to the creek below. I watched and listened and wandered and wondered at the magic all around me. For this awkward introvert, this is the place I feel a sense of true belonging and peace ~ in the trees with the other quiet creatures of the forest.
