I hear the river through the trees and know it’s close. It sounds wide and lazy, not concerned in the least, as truly powerful things often are. As I walk, I collect leaves and berries to show Dad. I’ve also found what I think is a mushroom. It’s the size of my hand and was growing from the side of one of the trees. It’s not pretty like the sort of mushrooms we buy in the store with round umbrella tops and stems, but rather malformed and dark, like a chunk of burned charcoal. It smells a little like wet dirt, but I’m hoping it’s actually something wonderful that Dad, Hannah, and I can cook with.
