Their loving attention was palpable. Upon seeing a tree stump on a separate occasion, I had a brief vision of the rings looking like delicately raked sand, as in a zen garden. As typically happens in the birth of an idea, these two visions merged somewhere in my imagination to illustrate this act of healing compassion.
