the clearing
a few years back there was dense shrub in this scene. one day, our neighbors...a little older than me but not by much...started hacking away at the brush and small trees, piling and removing methodically. as onlookers picking up our mail or driving away for groceries, we didn't really get it. no building allowed here and no view to gain. when about 3/4 of the area was cleared, the husband passed away. eventually the rest got cleaned up. i realized this wasn't about the land.
