"Every step I took, he took. Every hill I crested, he crested, and every ragged breath I took atop one of those impossibly tall hills, he took in unison. Slow? Yes. But unwavering and uncomplaining. After an hour I felt ashamed that I had doubted him. After two hours I was in silent awe at his resilience. We talked of life and other things as we walked, and as we paused atop another endless sandhill to catch our breath, he watched as my pup became a speck far across a wide draw. His name escapes me, and I never got a photo, a phone number, or an email, but I won’t forget the look on his face watching my pup fly across the prairie grass, and I won’t forget the effort he made to climb those unyielding sandhills, hands grasped around those two walking sticks as he labored up and down the vertical landscape. “Thank you,” he said. “I had a wonderful time.” Read the whole story "To Climb a Hill: Taking the Measures of One's Soul, One Step at a Time," at the 🔗 link below. pheasantsforever.org/toclimb… This article originally appeared in the Winter Issue of Quail Forever Journal.
