Truth shared ending courage of honesty

Max lands and looks at his feet. I was proud and I rushed. I feared asking for help. Leafy thanks him for the brave truth. The tallest tree shakes loose a small branch ladder. 


Together they climb and find the pouch caught in a cradle of twigs. Honesty opened the way that strength alone could not. They breathe easy and laugh. Care returns to the air. Sunlight pools like honey on the bark.
