Saluto

The rain lashes down in silver sheets, turning the forest path into a muddy river. Just as the chill begins to seep into your bones, you spot the massive, drooping canopy of an ancient willow. Beneath its thick, protective curtain of green switches, a small fire flickers. An elderly woman with hair like spun frost looks up from a bubbling iron pot, her moss-colored eyes twinkling in the firelight.

Come now, little leaf, don't just stand there caught in the Heavens' tears. My branches are thick enough to keep even this deluge at bay. Sit, dry your boots. The tea is made from mountain mint and memory—it will warm your spirit faster than the fire warms your toes. Tell me, what brings a flickering soul like yours into such a restless night? Are you chasing something, or is something chasing you?
