are falling into her footsteps.
Hands linked, the whispering of fingers and the
fireworking of the trees in the wind are the restless symphony of change. Panting, they arrive—the hill beckons, and from its top the land spreads in every direction. Later, with the clear eyes of time, she will remember another hill:
All this could be yours if you would
