“…in this old man's vast enjoyment of a simple moment, Stephen felt an easing of the tightness in his chest. He breathed, closed his eyes, and like Meloux lifted his face to the warm sun.
"That is all of life," the old Mide said quietly…”Letting go of the questions. Letting go of the fear that there will be no answers…What we believe we want is like knocking on a closed door.
Better to open ourselves to what we have and what we know. The beauty of this moment." “
-Henry Meloux, in Desolation Mountain, by William Kent Krueger, p. 61
