Traveling Merchant

“Oh, the freedom of the road!”

An early American adventurer takes a refreshing midnight swim after setting up her temporary business just a mile outside of some small, country town. She sells only what she knows, and she helps people wherever she goes. Some people have names for her, and others have blames for her. But she simply says, “That’s okay. I know where I come from, who I am, where I’ve been, and where I’m going.”
