Nathaniel’s dream is to get closer to God and to make sure his mom is happy.
Nathaniel is currently four years old and carrying wood with his two sisters down a dusty cart-road in an unmarked Amish village somewhere between Allegheny and Tionesta, Pennsylvania. In pauses between talking to me, he looks sideways at his older sisters, who peacefully nod towards him. I tell him that he looks big and strong and then I help him carry the wood to his parents’ home, where he lives with his other nine brothers and sisters.

Hey Trey — he looks like he’s about to slug you. (Did he?)

No… He was a nice kid. I think what you are seeing is general confusion, a look I am used to seeing in the mirror.
