 I have never understood love - how it grows between people like good grasses, and how you have to keep clearing larger spaces for it, until your lover has a field so large he is truly free as a white-tailed deer roaming the high Montana Rockies. In the mountains the air is so thin you need a friend with whom to climb, lightheaded on the path, and our stories reveal not only failures of nerve, but moments released in the country of grieving, where we are sure only of the marked trail, small dangers, the names of a few birds, the way down.
