Trailhead
National Catholic Reporter, Feb 8, 2008 by Chet Corey
Trailhead I came to the trailhead intending only to snowshoe. All night snow had fallen and wind had blown around and between the old spruce and ash that line the trail, as if an aisle up to the altar of a chapel you open a heavy door to, intending only a glance, not to kneel and pray for anything or for anyone. I stood a long, cold while looking down that trail to where in fall, leafed out in aspen and birch, it flattens into prairie, a hill in heat-hazed distance, high grass, an oval of light: a place to pause, catch your breath, not intending to drop knee deep in snow for everything, for everyone.
