I thoroughly enjoyed the calm and relaxing tone of Paul Bennett’s tale which seems to come from a different time and place than most of us live: life is slower, dirt roads, dull axes to be sharpened, and lonely pines. Reminds me in many ways of my own childhood in East Texas. Except we weren’t as polite and nice as all of Paul’s characters.

Enjoy today’s story, and keep your eyes open for ancient plots of earth which hold mysteries and challenges.
