The river is wide and lazy and sparkles with the early afternoon sun. We hike downstream until we find an inlet that’s still with a flat rock beside it baking in the sun.

I sit on the edge as the kids wade in the shallow water. I take off my shoes and socks and wriggle my toes against the stone to soak up the heat, and for the first time in two days, I breathe. So much nothingness surrounds me that if I forget about my store-bought clothes and my modern-day problems, I can almost imagine I’ve stepped back in time. A pair of Canadian geese float by, the male bigger and more beautiful than his mate, the current carrying them effortlessly to another place.

Drew crouches on a boulder beside Addie to watch the pollywogs. Their heads—Addie’s bright as a new copper penny, Drew’s old gold—are bent so close they touch.

“Look.”

I follow Addie’s finger. A hawk soars for the sky, a trout at least ten inches long flapping in its beak.

“Wow,” I say. “I bet there’s tons of fish in this river. That’s amazing. I bet people fish here all the time.”

“I want to fish,” Drew says.

And I nod. Why not? Here, in this moment, anything seems possible.
