basic training in Fort Bragg, N.

Volley News I
By Edna Simmons
Surprises never end in the mountains of Western North
Carolina. The changing seasons results in a reservoir of
variation that never cloys. When the winter days seem to
contain only drabness, and a feeling of never-ending
"s ameness", we have only to take a walk in the woods or
down the hill to the brook, to lose our gloom.
One of our friends reported the other day that he had
found a dandelion blooming in his yard and he brought it
inside to brighten the breakfast table. He was delighted
with this small "joy" in January!
The forsythia branch that I brought in with which to
"stake" one of my house plants, to my amazement and
joy, began blooming! The three unnoticed buds on it are
now "golden bells" of fragile bloom. Ah! It is good to
be alive - even in mid-winter.
Sometimes* on our walks, we top a hill or a little rise,
and their adventure awaits us, or beauty confronts us, like
a mountain brook bubbling over rocks, or a little moun
tain lake sparkling in the pale winter sunlight.
There are a thousand things to delight us if we are lock
ing for them: a bed of galax with its glossy red leaves,
the beauty of rock formations, the stark symmetry of tree
branches silhouetted against the blue sky. We can allow
our minds to become surfeited with cares and chores and
miss many of the little enjoyments of living, or we can,
as the poet said, "turn a stone and start a wing!"

How pure at vesper-time
The far bells chiming!

And strength for climbing!
