Excerpt from Singing Mountains Ben Rhodes sat down by the wayside and took off his shoes. Ever since he could remember he had gone barefoot until actual winter drove him to his boots. But at the school he was fleeing, the wearing of shoes had been one of the many intolerable requirements: there, shoes were worn both winter and summer. But now he took them off and put his bare feet down on the cool ground. His toes burrowed into the mellow earth like the muzzle of a playful puppy. For a time he sat thus, a sense of his new freedom warm within him. Then stringing his shoes over his shoulder, he resumed his journey with the feeling that a better adjustment had been made between him and his world. Eagerly he took in the old beloved scenes, greeting each one with a mounting joy. Not that he knew these particular mountains, or these identical trees, or these very squirrels and birds. Some of them he had never seen before, others but a time or two. But these mountains and these trees, these birds and these squirrels - they were his!
