Grazie mille!

Sometimes, when I wander around in the mountains near my home, I imagine Emily walking beside me, pencil and a scrap of paper in her pocket. (I imagine her with better shoes for hiking.) And I wonder what she would write about the trees that I visit and love, the birds, the wildflowers, and the ongoing state of conflict in the fight for freedom among humanity. Thank you for this post. I'm glad you got to be with her this way and share your experience. A balm for us.

How lovely. Apparently, Emily lost shoes going into bogs to retrieve some wild plant or flower.

I'm so glad that my writing speaks to you and that you liked what I wrote. Isn't it incredible who writers help and shape us throughout our lives? That their words can speak to us long after they are gone?
