21 | Paul took his axe and went out into the woods to chop trees. Or rather he | ||
22 | went into the trees to chop wood. He wasn't sure. Either way it helped him | ||
23 | think. Last time he'd gone out, he'd had an idea for a shoe-insert company he | ||
24 | could start called "Paul's Bunyons." He chuckled to himself as he shouldered | ||
25 | his axe and went into the forest. | ||
26 | |||
27 | Deep into the woods he admired the organization of the trees. "They grow | ||
28 | wherever they fall" he said "but still none is too close to another." He | ||
29 | sounded like Solomon to himself. He imagined he had a beard. | ||
30 | |||
31 | He walked for a long time in the shadows of the forest, in its coolness. It | ||
32 | sounded like snow had fallen but it was still October. The first time the | ||
33 | trees seemed to radiate out from him in straight lines he stopped and turned | ||
34 | around four times. After he walked on he noticed it happened fairly often. | ||
35 | |||
36 | Still, after he felled his first tree that day he realized they grew from the | ||
37 | epicenter of his axe. He paused in the small dark sound of the forest quiet. | ||
