Shepard for the Day.14

"The child goes out from camp with adults to forage and with playmates to imitate foraging.  The adults show no anxiety in their hunting, only patience; one waits and watches and listens.

Sometimes the best is not to be found, but there is always something.  The world is all clues.  There is no end to the subtlety and delicacy of the clues.  The signs that reveal are always there. One has only to learn the art of reading them."
