Yes, some days it's important for each of us, I think, to find and walk our own Blackberry Lane.

Time alone, when we can leave it all with the leaves...

exactly. The path I walk has no name; I named it, because for about a third of it, there is a stand of blackberries. And about twenty feet away from it is the apple orchard where my sister apple tree fruits. She's in a poem in "strange grace" nearish to the end. I love walking by her every day. I speak to her.
