“I often imagined myself back there on the frontier, though I couldn’t describe what exactly that meant to me. I remembered the smells, the sounds, the voices of people in our village. There’s our frontier shimmering in the sunlight, glittering like the wings of a dragonfly. There’s someone calling to the geese by the pond: the sound bouncing loudly off the surface of the water into the air. There’s Ma standing on the veranda, steadfast, unintimidated. There’s me running through the meadow, swept along in its gentle, aromatic waves.”
