The Way

Learner could perhaps have wandered away. As the shades ghosted across the sand he remained with an effort that was beyond an ordinary boy. The next evening, perhaps as an end to a test of patience, or maybe a loss of his own, or even possibly because he felt there was simply no more time to waste leaving the boy behind, the old man resumed his path. Learner followed diligently, his resolve strengthened. If the wind meant him to stay, he would not have the strength to go. Maybe the old man eased his stride so that the boy would be able to keep pace, or maybe it was a new energy from following the path of the wind.
