A peaceful pause in a steep hillside field, high above the rocky shoreline. We were down to the last of our water, off track and sun-warmed, trying to make sense of the map and the moment.

As we braced ourselves for the hoof stomping finale, a truck appeared. The farmer. It was dinnertime. We forgot we were lost. We forgot the miles still ahead and the lack of water. All was well. Laughter spilled out of us, echoing across the hillside.
