land theirs by working and trans
forming it. I was also making
this land mine simply by guarding
it for the creative forces that were
to come after. me. This was my
valley.
So I grew acquainted with my
valley. I studied the lines of ero-
sion as they have flayed the soil
from the land, and specialized
where terrace walls had been plac-
ed untold centuries before. I tried
to discover where the soil could
be redeemed, and where it had
been washed away forever. In
taking stones for Notifications I
tried to remove them with sy-
stem so as to leave the hill bet
ter arranged than it was before.
I grew used to sleeping at night
with the wind rushing through the
chinks in our emplacement, and
wondered if I would ever sleep
better.
