Let us probe the silent places,

let us seek what luck betides us;

Let us journey to a lonely land I know.

I didn’t always remember the first line, but I’d chime in for the second: Let us journey to a lonely land I know. I also remember that Dad didn’t bother to pick the berry leaves out of each handful.

“Don’t we need to get the leaves out?” I asked him.

“Life is too short to pick the leaves out of the berries,” he said. “Grizzlies don’t pick out the leaves, so neither do we.”

I remember Dad’s blueberry grin and the way he believed, with complete certainty, that life was too short for dawdling around.

No more dawdling for me either.

I sit up in the tundra and brush off the mossy green and twiggy branches.

It’s time to get packing. Sophie might want to sleep, but I need to get ready.
