Already I am made wholly new. Though I probably do not look any different, I feel as if the world must see me in a new way now that I can see the world as it truly is. I am no longer a barmaid or a philosophy major but a Druid initiate, and it feels as though I have emerged from a long and febrile sleep in a poorly made cocoon. The name Granuaile MacTiernan hardly matters anymore; it is just something that people call me. The elemental, Sonora, calls me Young Druid, and that is who I am now.

The cottonwoods drinking from the East Verde River are poets even without their leaves.

Their branches speak to me of silence and death and a promised renewal that will come in its own season. And time is measured in those seasons, in buds and flowers and seeds, not in the gears of a clock or in the turning of a calendar page.

Their rough bark speaks to me of wind and rain and protecting oneself from harm.

Their roots are fingers that do not clutch but rather clasp in friendship, and they say to the soil, Here will I grow and be nourished for a span of seasons, and soon enough I will nourish you. All that is given shall be returned.

I see that they are like Druids, and tears spill down my cheeks to think that soon I will be just like them, and not the leech on this world I once was.
