Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes - In the Valley of the Mimente

In which the traveller descends into the valley of the Mimente at dusk, seeking a secluded, if stony, resting place beneath ancient oaks where the silence of the night is punctuated by the plaintive barking of a neighbour’s dog and the gentle presence of the stars above. In the brightening morning, he encounters a solitary wayfarer whose calm declaration of faith prompts reflection on the enduring and personal nature of religious conviction amidst the rugged landscape.
