Gary Kinney needed somewhere to run – a cemetery felt odd, even maybe disrespectful. But a woman who’s husband was buried nearby gives him the a-ok
Some of us are creatures of habit; every summer, for example, I like to drive from my home in the lower mainland of British Columbia to Saskatchewan, where I was born. I stop in towns where I can run, and what works, sticks, I suppose.
I hadn’t gone too far out of the Hat when I heard not the wind, but a meadowlark calling from a large patch of trees across the road. They were too close for it to be a mirage. So I crossed over and found myself in a well-kept forest with little paved roads inside, criss-crossing it in grids. I was so preoccupied by the thought that I was being watched, that I almost bumped into a car parked off to the side one of the little roads. I stopped running when an elderly lady who had been putting flowers on a headstone noticed me near her car, and waved me over.
She stopped to wipe the sweat off her brow with a linen handkerchief that magically appeared from her purse. “He would have been so happy to know that others would enjoy running in here.” She sighed and put the handkerchief away. “I think he’d feel he’d made a good choice.”
