Four walls with a glass ceiling, blue sky and a few clouds above, the sun beginning to show above the west wall. There's an large Indonesian wooden cabinet in a corner, doors open, a thick towel on a shelf. That's all.

Old Ponderosa forest--spaced wide, soft ground, thick needle matting, a few shrubs here and there, lots of light.

The path is barely visible, the forest is wide open, there are many such paths through the flatland ponderosas-- in the rocky steeps the paths are more defined, dirt winding up, around and over rock.

A small mountain stream, mossy rock bottom, cut into dirt banks.

A wooden cup.

An old key, discolored bronze, unlocks a large set of doors.
