when my grandson Luca took me by the
hand into an overgrown bramble next to
a playground near his house. I couldn’t
interest him in the multicoloured structure designed to entertain and exercise
youngsters. Instead, he wanted to show
his Pop-pop the “deep, dark woods” where
we spent some time with our faces close
to the ground inspecting bugs, snails and
curious plants.
At one point he yelled, “Look, Pop-pop!
It’s beeeaauuutiful!” And I leaned in to see
the speck of a miniature spider crawling
across a leaf.
