Sleeping on the Mountain

He had to sleep on the mountain. Loved his friends, but had to sleep somewhere by the trail, under spruce, above the foggy sound of waves. Had to find the trail by feel, without  light. Had to say a blessing there.

– Kim Stafford, from “Creatures of the Mountain,” Wind on the Waves: Stories of the Oregon Coast
