    He'd grown unused to woods like this. He'd become accustomed to the Northwest, evergreen and shaded dark. Here he was surrounded by soft leaves, not needles; leaves that carried their deaths secretly inside them, that already heard the whispers of Autumn. Roots and branches that knew things.

    On a midsummer night, on a night that was eerie with stars,In a wood too deep for a single star to look through,You led down a path whose turnings you knew in the darkness,But the scent of the dew-dripping cedars was all that I knew.I drank of the darkness, I was fed with the honey of fragrance,I was glad of my life, the drawing of breath was sweet;I heard your voice, you said, 'Look down, see the glow-worm!'It was there before me, a small star white at my feet.

    Fairy tales give it to us straight. They tell us something profound and essential - that the woods are real, and dark, and full of wolves. That we will, at times, find ourselves hopelessly lost in them. But these tales also tell us that we are all that we need, that we have all we need - guts, smarts, and maybe a pocketful of breadcrumbs - to find our way home.

    I had feared this end, wondered where I would go from it, from the moment I first stepped on this footpath in the desert. But I found I was not afraid of reaching it now. I was happy. I hadn't found every answer for where I was going, but I now had all I needed to take these next steps. I knew I would do what I needed to become a writer now.
