Subject: QOTD for Saturday, December 10, 2022

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 108 Reality Is That Which, When You Stop Believing In It Doesn’t Go Away


The gulls cried high overhead, still wheeling, and he looked up. Sure enough: he could just make out the low ruins on the Iron Age hill fort up there, the ruins he’d rebuilt - would rebuild? What if he never got back to – Jesus, don’t even think about it, man, it’ll drive you crazier than you are already.

He nudged the horse and it reluctantly accelerated a bit. It accelerated a lot faster in the next moment, when a crashing noise came from the hillside just above.

“Whoa! Whoa, you eedjit! Whoa, I said!” These adjurations, along with a heave of the reins to bring the horse’s head around, had an effect, and they ended facing back the way they’d come, to see a young boy standing, panting, n the middle of the road, his red hair all on end, nearly brown in the muted light.

“Daddy,” he said, and his face lit as though touched by a sudden sun. “Daddy!”
