Yonder

A young boy moves through a world of birch trees, mist‑shrouded pools, and rolling hills, his body and senses mirroring the landscape around him. He begins each day with a plunge into the cold water, watches the slow waning of the stream, and gathers blackberries while the sun fights its way through fog. The quiet rhythm of his rural life is painted in vivid detail, from the “mountain‑witch’s hair” that rushes down the gorge to the blue‑capped hill that dominates the horizon.

When a lone, disheveled stranger appears on the road near Alexander’s home, the boy’s ordinary morning shifts into something uneasy. The man’s odd appearance and cryptic words hint at a larger story hidden beneath the everyday chores of breakfast and chores. Listeners are invited to follow Alexander as his curiosity draws him into a mystery that may change his bond with the land he knows so well.
