A hvedge stretching along the riverside
 marks the border between the fields, and
 the mountains is an indicator of a threshold
 that protects what’s within its boundaries.
 The hedge along the Katun River running
 through the Altai region also stretches
 across the sky and the land to capture the
 lives of the people occupying the spaces
 it covers. For a man whose life has flowed
 like the river to reach the end of his life’s
 journey and enter the land of the infinite,
 his life and the wisdom of life that will be
 passed down to his descendants unravel.
