Windswept pastures. A small farm lake, crinkled by the mistrals of spring. Alabaster clouds, tinged ashen–pregnant with rain– scuttle southward, low overhead. The air smells of color, choices, and freedom; aerosol sprays will never match it. Nature trumps science. Always. That’s why I’m here. I will fish. That is certain, and also, secondary.
