Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The threeyearold turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump (叢 ) of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more. Kids are not to blame. They are overprotected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from puters is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite (儀式 ) of passage. Everyone from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that strengthen love, respect and need for the landscape.

Within seconds of meeting someone, he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses. It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass Dad’s test. None did. Dad was always right they didn’t pass my test either. After Dad died, I wondered how I’ d figure it out on my own. That’ s when Jack arrived on the scene. He was different from any other guy I’ d dated. He could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother, discussing some posers. My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn’ t a turkey like the other guys I’ d brought home. Jack passed my family’ s test. But what about Dad’ s? Then came my mother’ s birthday. The day he was supposed to drive, I got a call. “ Don’ t worry,” he said, “ but I’ ve been in an accident. I’ m fine, but I need you to pick me up.” When I got there, we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom. “ How about gardenias?” Jack said, pointing at a beautiful white corsage (胸花 ). The florist put the corsage in a box. The entire ride, Jack was unusually quiet. “ Are you all right?” I asked. “ I’ ve been doing a lot of thinking,” he said. “ I might be moving.” Moving? Then he added, “ Moving in with you.” I nearly put the car on the sidewalk. “ What?” I asked. “ I think we should get married,” he said. He told me he’ d planned his proposal in a fancy restaurant, but after the accident, he decided to do it right away. “ Yes,” I whispered. We both sat dumbfounded, tears running down our cheeks. I’ d never known such a tender moment. If only Dad were here to give his final approval. “ Oh, let’ s just go inside.” Jack laughed. My mother opened the door. “ Happy Birthday!” We shouted. Jack handed the box to her. She opened it up. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears. “ Mom, what’ s wrong?” I asked. “ I’ m sorry,” she said, wiping her eyes. “ This is only the second gardenia corsage I’ ve ever received. I was given one years ago, long before you kids were born.” “ From who?” I asked. “ Your father,” Mom said. “ He gave me one right before we were engaged.”
