It Leads… Where We Lead It.

It Leads… Where We Lead It.

(this is the second part of a two-part essay; if you haven’t already done so, please read “Where Does It All Lead” to get the most out of this piece.) On a rocky hillside, trowel in hand, I went along the rough trail, eyes searching the ground.  Every so often I would...

Where Does It All Lead?
