Am going to go root about a bit more before I go back to work…

Brett – Ha! Well, O.K. — folks in your profession are going to be in high demand when the aquifers run dry. Living water and all that. (There’s a reason why the Zunis and Hopis have so many priesthoods!)

It’s so hopeful. Trees with leaves, white moths on the ground, birdsongs. All a memory now, but wonderfully evoked here.
