21 | What did he do when he was in the woods? Where did he go? Was there always | ||
22 | one spot, one clearing deep within the heart of them, that he would visit? | ||
23 | Did he talk to the trees or only to himself? When he chopped down trees, did | ||
24 | he leave them there to rot in the quiet or did he drag them out of the woods, | ||
25 | behind his Shack, and dismember them? Did he use any for firewood, or did the | ||
26 | pieces rot behind his Shack, forgotten? When was the last time he built any | ||
27 | furniture? Did he get any better at building it or did he just quit at some | ||
28 | point, let the desire to create fall behind him like a forgotten felled tree? | ||
29 | |||
30 | A tree fell in the forest: did it make a noise? Paul typed his thoughts on | ||
31 | cards, or wrote them in a book: did anyone read it? If anyone did, was his | ||
32 | life changed? For the better or the worse? Did he glance at the mess in the | ||
33 | top drawer of his Writing Desk as he cleaned the Shack out long after Paul had | ||
34 | quit using it? Did he put tools in there or leave it empty? What did he do | ||
35 | with the desk? Did he add it to the pile of rotting wood out back, or did he | ||
36 | chop it up for a bonfire with friends, or a cozy fire with his wife and | ||
37 | children, or did he take it to the dump three miles away to rot there? Are | ||
38 | these all the options? | ||
39 | |||
40 | Did Paul ever think about any of this? Walking in the woods one afternoon | ||
41 | after becoming frustrated with his writing, did he sit on a stump and cry? | ||
42 | Did he wonder whether he should have made other choices? Did he consider | ||
43 | quitting smoking? | ||
