The Curative Spring

d009_fountain_of_youth_events.1

The guides lead us off the trail to a pool welling up cold and clear beneath a stand of palms, and they will not let us pass without drinking. An old woman among them mimes a bent back straightening and a gray head turning dark again. One of our own, a pikeman gone lame with fever since the coast, kneels and drinks his fill, and by evening he swears the ache has left his legs. The surgeon mutters that a man who wants badly enough to be well will feel well for a day or two regardless of what he drinks. Still, the water is sweet and the story older than any of us. We have crossed oceans on thinner promises than this.
