"A blossom detached and flew higher in the wind. Then it spun further from the tree and began to fall. Ennis saw it, dropped his hand weeder, and began to run. Why he ran for the blossom, he couldn't have said. Only that the sudden tug in his heart was so strong he could do nothing else."So begins a short and powerful meditation on life by the author of "Toy Car Dialectic," "What You Really Want," and many others.
