One Drop.
Beneath the rocks
“The desert counted everything a person left behind.”
A stranger’s belongings
“I know how he fought. I don’t know how he lived.”
Those who remember
“One remembered shared water. Another, a life saved. Before Paul stood more than the man he had fought.”
His mother’s gaze
“Did they teach me what I should say here?”
The sound of strings
“I had no time to know him.”
· · ·“Now I’m listening to what you tell me… and understanding what I cannot take back.”
One drop
“He gives his water for him.”
Its worth
“Paul was simply crying. Those around him saw him giving a gift.”
A place in the circle
“The ceremony continued. Paul did not lift his head. Now he could hear Jamis’s name without seeing his face.”
