“The fire on the mountain.鈥� That was Anna. 鈥淎lchemy,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 feel it singing in my bones.鈥�
鈥淪inging?鈥� Mary would never understand Anna. The young woman turned away.
Wiseman鈥檚 reply was tinged with respect.
鈥淭hat great pair of alchemists, Francis Ransome and Roberta Le More, believed the work they did affected the world鈥檚 spirit, the anima mundi. The Native Americans they met believed they too could and should interact with the Great Spirit. They lived with reverence for the land and all its peoples, the ancestors, the animals, the rocks, the trees, mountains.鈥澛�
Mary鈥檚 jaw dropped; Caroline glowed; Anna pretended not to listen. Wiseman nodded, then continued.
鈥淵ou mean鈥�?鈥� began Mary.
鈥淵es, it could have been so different, a meeting of like-minded earth-based spiritualities. Just imagine, what could have been?”

“This evening I spied her in the back orchard. I decided to sacrifice one of my better old shirts and carried it out to her. The weather鈥檚 been warm of late. Buds on the apple trees are ready to burst. Usually by this time of the year, at that time of day, the back orchard is full of screaming children. Damut鈥檚 boys were the only two. They were on the terrace below her, running through the slanted sunlight, chasing each other around tree trunks. She stood above them, like a merlin watching rabbits play.”

“The problem of unmet expectations in marriage is primarily a problem of stereotyping. Each and every human being on this planet is a unique person. Since marriage is inevitably a relationship between two unique people, no one marriage is going to be exactly like any other. Yet we tend to wed with explicit visions of what a 鈥済ood鈥� marriage ought to be like. Then we suffer enormously from trying to force the relationship to fit the stereotype and from the neurotic guilt and anger we experience when we fail to pull it off.”
