+What did he do when he was in the woods?  Where did he go?  Was there always
+one spot, one clearing deep within the heart of them, that he would visit?
+Did he talk to the trees or only to himself?  When he chopped down trees, did
+he leave them there to rot in the quiet or did he drag them out of the woods,
+behind his Shack, and dismember them?  Did he use any for firewood, or did the
+pieces rot behind his Shack, forgotten?  When was the last time he built any
+furniture?  Did he get any better at building it or did he just quit at some
+point, let the desire to create fall behind him like a forgotten felled tree?
+
+A tree fell in the forest: did it make a noise?  Paul typed his thoughts on
+cards, or wrote them in a book: did anyone read it?  If anyone did, was his
+life changed?  For the better or the worse?  Did he glance at the mess in the
+top drawer of his Writing Desk as he cleaned the Shack out long after Paul had
+quit using it?  Did he put tools in there or leave it empty?  What did he do
+with the desk?  Did he add it to the pile of rotting wood out back, or did he
+chop it up for a bonfire with friends, or a cozy fire with his wife and
+children, or did he take it to the dump three miles away to rot there?  Are
+these all the options?
+
+Did Paul ever think about any of this?  Walking in the woods one afternoon
+after becoming frustrated with his writing, did he sit on a stump and cry?
+Did he wonder whether he should have made other choices?  Did he consider
+quitting smoking?
