Our story tonight is called The Willow Tree, and it’s a story about the first signs of spring on an open field beside a lake. It’s also about stepping stones, a bench up high on the bluff, geese paddling at the shore, tall rubber boots, a breeze that blows the hat from your head and the calm quiet that comes when you stop chasing some other moment and make a home in this one.
