"He who learns must suffer and even in our sleep the pain we cannot forget falls drop by drop upon our heart and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God."

A gift while walking in the woods.
A woman and man are walking towards me. With them is a boy, about 4 or 5 years old. The boy spots me and walks right towards me. He asks if I want an acorn. I say yes, that I have been looking for one all day. He hands me one, pauses, and says "Here take them all." He roots around in his pants pockets and hands me 5 more. As he turns to catch up with the 2 adults he is with he says "Those are to feed the squirrels." I start to walk away with the 6 acorns and realize they are still warm from his pockets.
