    Summary

    "... the immortal heart of the woods will beat against ours and its subtle life will steal into our veins and make us its own forever, so that no matter where we go or how widely we wander we shall yet be drawn back to the forest to find our most enduring kinship..."
    -- Thistle Harvest, John Foster


    And when I'm awake, or awake enough

    he turns upside down, his four paws
    in the air
    and his eyes dark and fervent.

    "Tell me you love me," he says.

    "Tell me again."

    -- from "Little Dog’s Rhapsody in the Night," Mary Oliver

    Summary

    Barney Snaith is many things - a writer (albeit one with nom de plume), a woodsman, a cat person and, above everything else, a loner. He tried the whole friendship and love things once and it was more than enough, thank you very much. The very last thing he expects to ever do in his life is to get married and yet this is exactly what happens to him one summer evening - and he's the last person to make any sense of it.

    Retelling of "Blue Castle" from Barney's POV.
