Planet covered in blessing

Perhaps I misunderstood you. I was passing through and you were traveling the other way, returning from where I was bound.

Your smile was so full of meaning, as true as a tree.

I, however, was on the road and couldn't take the time to stop and talk, though I did return your smile as best I could.

Ahead were the mountains.

What you said to me as I passed...what did you say...did you say what I thought you said or did you say something else...

...when I looked back you were gone and the wilderness pawed at me...

...what did you say... that now is no time to turn back, that I must be as brave as a river...that the planet is covered in blessing...
