“There’s nothing to fear. Nothing at all. Over there, across the dark waters, on that far shore, there’s only beauty. Dogs can see it, you know. We can peer through the thin places between worlds —even through the veil between this life and the next. And over there you and I are already together, and always have been, and always will be. Part of you remembers. Part of everyone does. Hence those myths we’ve discussed so often—Eden, for instance.”
