Amidst the extravagant silence of a Sierra Nevada twilight many June moons\u00a0ago, I\u00a0took a long walk with a candelabra. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>
\nI was 14 years old, about 30 miles from where I wanted to be the next morning and apparently, to the me of then, it made some semblance of sense to just set off into the (mountain) lion, coyote and bear dense & darkened woods with nothing more than a three-armed crystal candle holder to light the way. Oh my. Perhaps I thought, “Hmmm, a\u00a0flashlight maybe? Erphh, so trite. No, no, this cumbersome and terribly inconvenient candelabra that will surely never stay alight is my tool of choice!”\u00a0In the event the previous admittance didn’t already make it abundantly clear, I was then (and am still) something of an odd duck, though on that evening my luminary albatross made tapping along to the different drummer’s beat\u00a0a bit more\u00a0unwieldy.<\/span><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>\n
The odd duck among friends. Or, how I envisioned blending in with the forest creatures…<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0Not sure if any credit can go to my crystal candelabra perhaps dazzling\u00a0any animals in the\u00a0vicinity as moonlight glinted off of it’s grooves and curves or if the wild beasties had already set out for their own summer vacations, party size bag of Cheetos in paw,\u00a0but thankfully\u00a0we were all\u00a0spared any startling fur-flying and\/or hair-raising encounters and finally, after trudging long through the starry night with\u00a0only 2 short\u00a0rides accepted, the trek was completed early the next morning with plenty of candle wick to spare.\u00a0 <\/span><\/div>\n
