21 | He walked into the woods for the first time in months. It was a bright summer | ||
22 | day but under the canopy of leaves it was cool and quiet and twilight. There | ||
23 | was no sound but his footsteps, his breathing. Instead of an axe, his right | ||
24 | hand clutched his notebook. His left was in his pocket. A pencil perched | ||
25 | behind his ear. | ||
26 | |||
27 | He walked aimlessly until coming over a short rise he saw a stump. He | ||
28 | recognized his handiwork in the way the stump made a kind of chair back---flat | ||
29 | until the axe had gone through far enough, then a frayed edge like a torn | ||
30 | page. Paul walked over to the stump and sat down. | ||
31 | |||
32 | He looked up and tried to find a pattern in the placement of the trees. There | ||
33 | was none. They grew randomly, beginning nowhere and ending in the same place. | ||
34 | A squirrel ran down one and up another for no reason. He opened his notebook | ||
35 | and took his pencil from his ear but could think of nothing to write. | ||
36 | |||
37 | A crow called hoarsely to another, something important. Paul looked up but | ||
38 | could not see the black bird in the leaves of the trees. He looked back down | ||
39 | to the cream-colored pages of his notebook. | ||
40 | |||
41 | He was surprised that he'd written _YOU CANNOT DISCOVER ART_. | ||
