My turn
There was a row of small green arrows on the path and, near to the first of them, a small ball of paper, which I picked up and smoothed out, somehow knowing that I must treat it with care and respect. Written on the paper, in a crabbed hand, were the words Follow the trail. I was on my way home, my children were waiting for their supper and my feet were hurting. All reasons not to follow a trail of small green arrows pointing in the opposite direction to home. I followed the arrows. Everything has changed now, the old man has passed on and I am the one who writes on the paper which I scrunch up into balls and leave by the trails of small green arrows for the next ones to follow, as they will.
